Abstract:Purpose Measurement of the endothelial cell density (ECD) is the main criterion to validate the quality of corneal grafts in eye banks. Because of corneal curvature and of deep storage‐induced endothelial folds, parallax errors may result in ECD overestimation. We designed a software with 3D reconstruction and optimized segmentation methods to improve cell count reliability
Methods After acquisition of endothelial Z stacks by conventional motorized bright field microscopy, a depth map was obtained by researchi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
