Analysis of the Asymmetry between Both Eyes in Early Diagnosis of Glaucoma Combining Features Extracted from Retinal Images and OCTs into Classification Models.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to analyze the asymmetry between both eyes of the same patient for the early diagnosis of glaucoma. Two imaging modalities, retinal fundus images and optical coherence tomographies (OCTs), have been considered in order to compare their different capabilities for glaucoma detection. From retinal fundus images, the difference between cup/disc ratio and the width of the optic rim has been extracted. Analogously, the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer has been measured in spectral-domain optical coherence tomographies. These measurements have been considered as asymmetry characteristics between eyes in the modeling of decision trees and support vector machines for the classification of healthy and glaucoma patients. The main contribution of this work is indeed the use o
