Abstract

The Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a very modern, noninvasive, and noncontact optical imaging technique. It is dedicated to different types of ocular tissues such as for example: the retina, optic disk, or cornea. During the examination, OCT is used for the early diagnosis of diseases such as: glaucoma, macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic changes in the retina, macular hole, macular edema, and eye cancer. These may inevitably lead to blindness, hence it is so important to ensure the patient of early and accurate diagnosis. The main goal of this paper is to propose a preliminary, automated method of detecting the occurrence of pathological changes in the retina (cysts and inflammation).
