The life-cycle of a World Wide Web service includes analysis, design, implementation and maintenance stages. Our experiences in building maintaining the annual Vienna International Festival's site have led us to create engineering tools that cover all these phases.
Subretinal fibrosis is one of the most prevalent causes blindness in elderly population, but a true gold standard to objectively diagnose still lacking. Since fibrotic tissue birefringent, it can be detected by polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT). We present new algorithm automatically detect, segment, and quantify lesions within 3D data sets recorded PS-OCT. The first compensates for birefringence anterior ocular tissues then uses uniformity birefringent optic axis...
