The pathological changes to the<br class=\"\" \/>retina, the light sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, due to DR can<br class=\"\" \/>be imaged with optical coherence tomography (OCT), and the<br class=\"\" \/>microvasculature visualized with OCT Angiography (OCTA). Artificial<br class=\"\" \/>intelligence (AI) tools to analyse the OCT intensity and OCTA flow<br class=\"\" \/>contrast image data may assist with the classification of DR, and has<br class=\"\" \/>potential to identify early changes that may be predictive of disease<br class=\"\" \/>severity.<\/p>\n<p>Bio: Prof Marinko Sarunic&#8217;s research investigates optical imaging<br class=\"\" \/>devices for biomedical applications. Prof. Sarunic completed<br class=\"\" \/>undergraduate studies at Simon Fraser University (Vancouver, BC, Canada)<br class=\"\" \/>and a doctoral degree at Duke University (Durham, NC, USA). The main<br class=\"\" \/>research focus is on optical coherence tomography (OCT), a non-invasive,<br class=\"\" \/>three-dimensional, micrometer-resolution imaging technique using the<br class=\"\" \/>interference of light. Prof. Sarunic&#8217;s group designs and constructs OCT<br class=\"\" \/>imaging systems primarily for studies in ophthalmology and vision<br class=\"\" \/>science. In addition to OCT, their work covers various techniques for<br class=\"\" \/>structural and functional optical imaging and analysis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">(original article in the University of Kent Optica student chapter website, available <a href=\"https:\/\/osachapter.aogkent.uk\/2022\/05\/02\/prof-marinko-visit-the-aog-april-2022\/\">here<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Thursday 21st April 2022, Prof Sarunic visited the AOG and gave a talk about his recent developments in the OCT field with a special interest in how to take advantage of AI with OCT-A.
