Air-Puff Tonometers presents the latest achievements and research works in the area of intraocular pressure measurement by the air-puff method. This method is used, for example, by the Corvis(R) ST, owing to the ultra-high-speed Scheimpflug camera, which records corneal deformation being the response to an air puff. The text also covers:
- New methods of image analysis and processing - New engineering methods used in devices - Method reducing measurement (intraocular pressure) errors - The change in the blood pulsation phase during measurement that affects the results in different ways - Other IOP measurement methods (using the air-puff method) - Medical and engineering problems with the air-puff method
This book is recommended reading for those involved in the analysis and processing of images and wanting to expand their knowledge of contemporary diagnostic methods and image analysis.
