Research abstract
Accurate topographic evaluation of the optic nerve head is important in diagnosis andmanagement of glaucoma. The present available instruments are too costly, too expensive, and lackthe accuracy and reproducibility required for detecting subtle changes in the optic nerve head. Inresponse to the need of this technology, we will create a novel parallel pixel filtering (PPF) technique toperform accurate sectioning imaging of the optic nerve head. The key component of the technique isa pixel filter array. A conventional fundus camera equipped with a pixel filtering array will be able toperform sectioning imaging. The technique does not require pixel scanning. The advantages of theresulting instrument are high speed, high accuracy, simplicity, and low cost.
