Vessel labeling in combined confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy and optical coherence tomography images: criteria for blood vessel discrimination.
<h4>Introduction</h4>The diagnostic potential of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in neurological diseases is intensively discussed. Besides the sectional view of the retina, modern OCT scanners produce a simultaneous top-view confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO) image includi...
