Abstract

Ophthalmic medical images, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) images and color photo of fundus, provide valuable information for clinical diagnosis and treatment of ophthalmic diseases. In this paper, we introduce a software system specially oriented to ophthalmic images processing, analysis, and visualization (OIPAV) to assist users. OIPAV is a cross-platform system built on a set of powerful and widely used toolkit libraries. Based on the plugin mechanism, the system has an extensible framework. It provides rich functionalities including data I/O, image processing, interaction, ophthalmic diseases detection, data analysis, and visualization. By using OIPAV, users can easily access to the ophthalmic image data manufactured from different imaging devices, facilitate workflows of processing ophthalmic images, and improve quantitative evaluations. With a satisfying function scalability and expandability, the software is applicable for both ophthalmic researchers and clinicians.
