A comparison of artificial neural network and linear statistical models for the detection of glaucoma based on measurements of the optic nerve head collected with a scanning laser ophthalmoscope

The scanning laser ophthalmoscope is a device used by ophthalmologists to obtain topographic images of patients' optic nerve heads (ONHs). Measurements are taken from these images that quantitatively describe the shape of the ONH. Glaucoma involves the loss of retinal nerve fibers, which in...
