Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for imaging at least one eye with optical components and processing the image of the at least one eye to determine radiation exposure. An image of one or more eyes may be received. The systems and methods may distinguish blood cell types in the image; quantify circulating levels of a selected blood cell type; output a number of blood cells per volume of the selected blood cell type; and determine a radiation dose based on the number of blood cells per volume of the selected blood cell type.
Claims20
A system for determining radiation exposure, the system comprising:
- at least one processor and memory;
- wherein the at least one processor:
- receives an image of one or more eyes;
- distinguishes blood cell types in the image;
- quantifies circulating levels of a selected blood cell type;
- outputs a number of blood cells per volume of the selected blood cell type;
- and
- determines a radiation dose based on the number of blood cells per volume of the selected blood cell type.
A system for determining radiation exposure, the system comprising:
- optical components for imaging an eye;
- at least one processor and memory;
- wherein the at least one processor:
- obtains data regarding one or more eyes with the optical components;
- determines ocular blood vessels in the data from the optical components;
- differentiates white blood cells within the ocular blood vessels;
- identifies peripheral blood lymphocytes;
- quantifies lymphocytes within a specified volume of circulating blood;
- and
- correlates the resulting quantification to a specified dose of radiation.
A method of determining radiation exposure, the method comprising:
- imaging at least one eye with optical components;
- determining one or more blood vessels in the image;
- differentiation blood cell types in the image;
- determining a quantity of a specified blood cell type per volume of blood;
- and
- correlating the quantity of the specified blood cell type per volume of blood to a specific radiation dose.
