Objective

Clinical and engineering experts co-operate to investigate the onset and progress of glaucomatous damages by utilisation of an existing optical data bank of about 16000 pairs of slides. Based on modern computer capacity, a software tool will be developed to reconstruct 3D images, calculate significant structures and volumes and superimpose images of different stages in a semi-automated way. This technique will be applied for the second examination of the existing slides. The medical findings will be reported as an assistance for other physicians and the software package will be edited for direct use in clinics or via a medical service MTU.
· Server containing both the database and the software for processing
