Fractal and multifractal analysis of human retinal vascular network: a review
Journal Title: Human & Veterinary Medicine - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The objective of this paper is to present a synthesis concerning the results obtained in fractal and multifractal analysis of vascular network geometry of the human retina. The numerical results are useful in mathematical models based on parametric representations, used in vitreo-retinal biomechanical studies. The fractal and multifractal analysis of retinal vascular network provides noninvasive powerful tools that allow physicians the early detection of patients with different retinal vascular diseases.
