AB  - We achieved fast and automatic retinal vessel segmentation by employing the 
      active contours method in Doppler spectral-domain optical coherence tomography 
      (SD-OCT). In a typical OCT B-scan image, we first extracted the phase variations 
      between adjacent A-lines and removed bulk motion. Then we set the initial contour 
      as the boundary of the whole image and iterated until all of the segmented vessel 
      contours became stabilized. Using a typical office computer, the whole 
      segmentation took no more than 50 s, making real-time retinal vessel segmentation 
      possible. We tested the active contours method segmentation in both controlled 
      phantom and in vivo rodent eye images.
