摘要：

Neurological pathologies, especially optical neuropathologies, can be studied by means of OCT (optical coherence tomography). Tomography generally allows to investigate inner structures of a tissue such as mass, and profiles of liquid flow. OCT is intended as an interferometry-based imaging technique that provides cross-sectional views of substrates. It allows to measure micro-scale cross-sectional imaging of biological tissue. While ultrasound uses sound waves, it acts like it but with a low coherence light. Optical nerve thickness has an impact on different neurological pathologies, and in particular as an indicator of epilepsy. We propose a dedicated technique for measuring optical nerve thickness and identifying its quality by means of processing front eye image in nanoscale. Experimental measurements have been performed, and a database of 10 teenagers has been used for that.
