  • Publication number: 20220084203
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, and methods for aiding a user to classify a volume of tissue. A system as described herein may comprise: a plurality of parameters associated with image characteristics related to one or more images of a volume of tissue; a plurality of probabilities each associated with a potential classification of a region of the volume of tissue and each related to one or more parameters of the plurality of parameters, wherein the plurality of probabilities are assumed to be independent of one another; and a graphical display visible to a user, the display comprising a graphical representation of a subset of relevant parameters of the plurality of parameters, wherein the graphical representation informs a classification of the region of the volume of tissue, and wherein a probability of the classification is represented visually.

  • Patent number: 6863073
    Abstract: Featured is a device for puncturing tissue of a body, such as the lamina cribosa and methods for treating a CVRO with such a puncturing device. The puncturing device includes a puncture member being generally configured and arranged to locally disrupt tissue proximal an area of the puncture site, to minimize the potential for damage to body parts or tissue immediately adjacent to this area of the puncture site and to facilitate perforation of the tissue at the puncture site. When the lamina cribosa is being punctured, the puncture member is more particularly configured and arranged to locally disrupt connective tissue of the lamina cribosa proximal to and surrounding the central retinal vein while minimizing the potential for structural damage to the central retinal vein. In an exemplary embodiment, the lamina cribosa is repeatedly punctured to strip/locally disrupt connective tissue surrounding the central retinal vein.
