| Abstract | PURPOSE: We improved the visibility of the lamina cribrosa (LC), including its posterior boundary, in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of the human optic nerve head (ONH). METHODS: An adaptive compensation algorithm was developed to overcome a limitation of our standard compensation algorithm, that is the overamplification of noise at high depth. Such limitation currently hampers our ability to distinguish the posterior LC boundary. In adaptive compensation, standard compensation operations are performed until an energy threshold is reached, at which stage the compensation process is stopped to limit noise overamplification in the deeper portion of the OCT image. The performance of adaptive compensation was compared to that of standard compensation using OCT images of 5 human ONHs. RESULTS: Adaptive compensation significantly reduced the intralayer contrast (a measure of pixel intensity uniformity) in the deeper portion of the OCT images (from 0.62 ± 0.11-0.30 ± 0.03, P < 0.001), indicating successful removal of noise overamplification. Furthermore, adaptive compensation significantly increased the interlayer contrast (a measure of boundary visibility) across the posterior LC boundary (from 0.29 ± 0.13-0.61 ± 0.21, P < 0.001), indicating improved posterior LC boundary visibility. CONCLUSIONS: Adaptive compensation provided significant improvement compared to standard compensation by eliminating noise overamplification at high depth and improving the visibility of the posterior LC boundary. These improvements were performed while maintaining all other benefits of compensation, such as shadow removal and contrast enhancement. Adaptive compensation will help further our efforts to characterize in vivo ONH biomechanics for the diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
