A Machine-Learning Graph-Based Approach for 3D Segmentation of Bruch ’s Membrane Opening from Glaucomatous SD-OCT Volumes

Glaucoma is one of the major causes of blindness and it is estimated that the number of people with glaucoma will increase to 79.6 million in 2020 Quigley and Broman (2006). There are different procedures to assess the functional and structural deficits caused by glaucoma. Visual field tests are the clinical standard for monitoring functional change. Color (stereo) fundus photography and, more recently, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) are two structural imaging modalities for monitoring the structural changes due to this progressive disease Abr àmoff et al.
