PURPOSE: To develop a new virtual surgery simulation platform to predict postoperative corneal stiffness (Kc mean ) after laser vision correction (LVC) surgery.
The study of corneal biomechanics has become relevant in recent years due to its possible applications in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of various diseases such as glaucoma, keratorefractive surgery and different corneal diseases. The clin...
We present a parallel Monte Carlo (MC) simulation platform for rapidly generating synthetic common-path optical coherence tomography (CP-OCT) A-scan image dataset for image-guided needle insertion. The computation time of the method has been evaluate...
