Abstract
The fractal dimension of the pattern of retinal blood vessels in the normal human eye was calculated. Photomontages were constructed from 10 red-free retinal photographs. Manual tracings of the vessels were made. Digital images of the tracings were analyzed on a computer using the box-counting method to determine the fractal dimension. The mean value and standard deviation of the fractal dimension (box-counting dimension), computed as described in the Methods section, is 1.70 ± 0.02 (N = 10). The use of standard methods for both data acquisition and computer assisted box-counting to determine the fractal dimension, resulted in reduced variance in the calculated data.
