This paper proposes a new approach for the segmentation of the retina images to obtain the optic nerve and blood vessels regions. We used retinal images from DRIVE and STARE databases which include different situations like illumination variations, different optic nerve positions (left, right and center). Illumination problem has been solved by preprocessing stage including image histogram-based illumination correction. Next, some morphological operations were used to filter the preprocessed image to obtain the ROI region, then, the center and radius of optic nerve were determined, and the optic nerve region was extracted from the original image. In blood vessels segmentation, we applied the illumination correction and median filtering.Then the closing, subtraction and morphological operations were done to get the blood vessels image which was thresholded and thinned to get the final blood vessels image.

The purpose of this research is to detect, locate, and define the blood vessels in the arm of any person who has a problem in taking samples of blood for laboratory testing in order to make it easier, not dangerous nor harmful. Depending on the pr operties of the scattering wave from the blood and the depth of the penetration, we have calculated the frequency which is necessary to choose the suitable transducer including the Geometric Dimension as well as the materials which is made from (we have taken the 5MHz Doppler –CW for 1.2 cm depth, 2.37 attenuation ratio and the 8MHz Doppler –CW for 0.74 cm depth , with the same attenuation ratio). Depending on the velocity's variation of the blood flow throughout the Biodynamic studies for important arteries in the upper limb, we have found the Doppler frequency which occurs when the acoustic wave passes across the blood red cell. We have designed a suitable electronic instrument which includes the transmitter circuit, receiver circuit, and the output unit - Audio graph.
Aim: to study the prevalence of glaucomatous injury in pseudoexfoliation patients, and the relation of these injuries with IOP values. Methods: 75 PXS eyes were compared with 75 age matched control eyes, and so 21 unilateral PXS patients were stud ied by comparing their two eyes. The study contained ONH study with Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT), and mean and range of IOP values. Results: ONH parameters which were compared between patients and controls included: disk area, rim area, cup area, mean RNFL thickness, vertical cup\disk ratio, MRA result, and GPS result. The difference was significant in all these parameters between patients and controls, also it was significant in mean IOP and its fluctuation. For unilateral PXS patients, no statistically significant difference was found in ONH parameters between the two eyes, but there was in IOP mean and range. Conclusion: PXS eyes are at high risk for developing glaucomatous optic nerve injuries, which were more probable with raised IOP mean and range; the risk also involved the other normal eye in unilateral PXS, certaining the systemating nature of pseudo exfoliation disease.
In this paper, we describe an algorithm to register the retinal images by employing a relatively cross-correlation function. Pixel to pixel accuracy has been investigated and evaluated among registered images by calculating the local cross-correla tion between extracted vessels profiles along tracked vessels after transforming the images into alignment.
The purpose of this reseated is to estimate cerebral blood flow in the cerebral microvasculature beds by measuring the change of the intensity gray scale levels in dynamic angiographic images which have been acquired by Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA).
