title: [An experimental study on the use of the Hilbert operator as a method of signal preprocessing for the determination of oxygen saturation in retinal vessels].
abstract: For the non-invasive measurement of the oxygen saturation in human retinal vessels, the light reflected by a vessel and its surroundings is evaluated. Differences in the absorption and scattering properties of the optical media provide so-called vessel profiles, but the central vessel section is often disturbed by a regular reflex. In order to eliminate this reflex, a method based on the Hilbert transform is presented, which can be used for the determination of logarithmic differences between the reflected light on and that beside the vessel. The data for our investigations were produced by simulation of the radiation transport in multi-layered tissue. A linear regression between expected and measured values based on 40 pairs was used for the evaluation of the proposed method. A linear relationship was shown to exist.
