Fast Retinal Vessel Detection and Measurement Using Wavelets and Edge Location Refinement (2012, background): “Until recently, the study of retinal vessel diameters for clinical purposes has remained largely a research tool because it is laborious, although improvements in computerised analysis have the potential to change this [5].”
Retinal image analysis: concepts, applications and potential. (2006, background): “More recently, we found axial length to have no bearing on retinal vascular network geometry, including AVR, junctional exponents and angles at vessel bifurcations (Patton et al., 2005b).”
Regulation of retinal blood flow in health and disease. (2008, background): “adaptation to the specific requirements in the retina is the high density of pericytes as compared to other organs including the brain (Cogan and Kuwabara, 1984; Frank et al., 1990; Shepro and Morel, 1993; Patton et al., 2005).”
