Abstract
The aim of this paper is to investigate whether multifractal analysis can be applied to study choroidal blood vessels and help ophthalmologists for the early diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa (RP). In a case study, we use Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SDOCT), which is a non-invasive and highly sensitive imaging technique of the retina and choroid. The image of a choroidal branching pattern can be regarded as a multifractal. Therefore, we calculate generalized Renyi point-centered dimensions, which is considered a measure of inhomogeneity of data, to prove that it increases in the patients with RP with respect to the control group.
