Automated Estimation of Choroidal Thickness Distribution and Volume based on OCT Images of Posterior Visual Section

Recent advances in medical imaging allow physicians to visualize, understand and diagnose complex medical conditions. For instance, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) [1] enables ophthalmologists to image as well as assess pathological changes in blood vessels present in the inner walls of the posterior visual section [2]. Specifically, the choroid layer has complex vasculature, lies sandwiched between the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and the sclera, performs critical physiological functions [3–7], and assumes crucial role in determining various disease conditions [8–12].
