Retinal Blood Vessel Segmentation
Nemčeková, Barbora ; Drahanský, Martin (referee) ; Kavetskyi, Andrii (advisor)
The retina is an important part of the human eye. Incident light is processed here and moreover, it plays an essential role in diagnosing various diseases. Its early diagnostics can prevent serious consequences, such as blindness. The most common retinal diseases include diabetic retinopathy, as a consequence of diabetes, and age-related macular degeneration. Automatic retinal vessels segmentation facilitates and speeds up the work of an ophthalmologist. This work focuses on retinal blood vessels segmentation and its further classification into thin and thick vessels. The proposed algorithm is based on morphological operations, k-means clustering, and Frangi's algorithm. Evaluation of the proposed method was performed on two publicly available datasets - Drive and HRF. The results obtained represent 69,89 % for sensitivity, 91,55 % for specificity, and 88,63 % for accuracy. Division of the vessels shows, that on average 21,50 % vessels pixels belong to thick vessels and the rest 78,50 % belong to thin vessels.

Bifurcation Localization in Retina Images
Pres, Martin ; Drahanský, Martin (referee) ; Semerád, Lukáš (advisor)
From biometrical point of view, main features of retina are fovea, optic nerve and blood vessel tree. Blood vessel tree is unique for each person and this biological feature is used in biometric systems for person-recognition by retinal images. This document describes methods for optic disc and fovea localization, method for vessel tree segmentation, which is based on well-known \emph{Matched filters} method and also describes method for localization of blood vessel bifurcations. Main goal of this thesis is creation of program which can automatically preprocess input image, segment blood vessels and localize vessel bifircations. The program is implemented in Java with OpenCV library.

Finger vein biometrics
Bělehrádek, Stanislav ; Sekora, Jiří (referee) ; Mézl, Martin (advisor)
This thesis presents basic concepts in the field of biometrics, with a focus on optical methods of finger vein biometrics. The paper also contains additional information including physics and anatomy terms, which are important for understanding presented problems. Part of the thesis is draft of the device used for finger vein biometry and proposal of effective image preprocessing process for biometric purpose. Main part of the thesis contains creation and testing of such device. User interface is created in MATLAB and allows identification and verification of people with record in database. Biometric system is tested on group of 16 individuals. Achieved results are discussed and compared with results of similar devices.

Extraction of arteries and veins from fundus image of human retina.
Pinkava, Marek ; Říha, Kamil (referee) ; Minář, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis deals with processing of retinal fundus images. Vision is the most important human sense and its injury has very serious consequences for humans. Automatic processing of retinal images increases the efficiency of medical examination and accelerates diagnoses of deseases. Retina exhibits unique characteristics for each person and thus can also be used to identify people. In this task is briefly discussed the structure and properties of each parts of the eye, particularly the retina, and their possible diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and age related macular degeneration. Subsequently, the task describes the representation and characteristics of the digital image. Also is devoted to selected image segmentation methods namely thresholding, edge detection and segmentation techniques based on the matched filter. The outcome of this task is the application in which several segmentation methods are implemented for the blood vessels extraction. For each of these methods it is possible to set the parameters of the segmentation to ensure high quality blood vessels extraction in images of different quality.

Nursing care of patient with peripheral vascular disease of lower extremities
Šoókyová, Bianka ; Kordulová, Pavla (advisor) ; Pucholtová, Romana (referee)
Introduction: I have chosen a topic Nursing care of the patient with peripheral vascular disease of lower extremities for my bachelor theses. I think that the chosen subject matter is very relevant, because the disease belongs into a group of cardiovascular diseases, which are still the main cause of mortality in CR, according to statistics ÚZIS Zemřelí 2016. In most cases, peripheral vascular disease of lower extremities is caused by atherosclerosis process, which is entailed with many risks factors (especially smoking, diabetes, hypertension). In theoretical part I introduce the issue of the peripheral vascular disease of lower extremities. I focus mainly on diagnosis, options for treatment and on prevention of the disease. The sources, that I have used for an elaboration of my theses, were obtained by research in National medical library. Searching was carried out in the databases NLK, PubMed, Embase, Medvik and CINAHL etc. I searched further through internet sources of professional organizations and companies, which deal with mentioned issue. Theses includes guidelines of professional organizations as ESVS - European Society for Vascular Surgery, ESC - European Society of Cardiology, SVN - Society of Vascular Nursing And National cardiovascular programme of Czech republic. Methods: To lay out...
