ReLayer: a Free, Online Tool for Extracting Retinal Thickness From Cross-Platform OCT Images.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe and evaluate a free, online tool for automatically segmenting optical coherence tomography (OCT) images from different devices and computing summary measures such as retinal thickness.

Methods

ReLayer (https://relayer.online) is an online platform to which OCT scan images can be uploaded and analyzed. Results can be downloaded as plaintext (.csv) files. The segmentation method includes a novel, one-dimensional active contour model, designed to locate the inner limiting membrane, inner/outer segment, and retinal pigment epithelium. The method, designed for B-scans from Heidelberg Engineering Spectralis, was adapted for Topcon 3D OCT-2000 and OptoVue AngioVue. The method was applied to scans from healthy and pathological eyes, and was validated against segm
