Title: Automatic Measurement of Wet AMD's Imaging Biomarkers
Non-Technical Title: Automatic Detection and Measurement of neovascular AMD's Imaging Biomarkers
Co-Investigator(s):
Glenn Jaffe,
Duke University
Duration: April 1, 2010 - March 31, 2012
Award Type: Standard
Award Amount: $100,000 |
Summary:
We are developing an open source fully-automated software program with demonstrated high accuracy that is able to detect, segment, and analyze Neovascular AMD (NVAMD) pathology seen on optical coherence tomography and compare these data to corresponding features on other imaging modalities. We anticipate that the software tools developed in this proposal will be readily adopted by clinicians, clinical study sites, and image Reading Centers to better identify NVAMD at the earliest stages, to quantify disease progression, and to measure response to therapy. |
