Three 10\u00b0\u2010images of the ONH were obtained using the HRT. The mean topography image was determined and the HRT software was used to calculate the rim volume, rim area to disc area ratio, normalised rim area to disc area ratio and retinal nerve fibre cross\u2010sectional area for each patient at 10\u00b0\u2010sectoral intervals. The values were ranked in descending order, and each ranked\u2010segment curve of ordered values was fitted using the least squares method.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold>\n                    There was no difference in disc area between the groups. The group mean cup\u2013disc area ratio was significantly lower in the normal group (0.204\u2003\u00b1\u20030.16) compared with the glaucoma group (0.533\u2003\u00b1\u20030.083) (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2003&lt;\u20030.001). The visual field indices, mean deviation and corrected pattern S.D., were significantly greater (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2003&lt;\u20030.001) in the glaucoma group (\u22129.09\u2003dB\u2003\u00b1\u20033.3 and 7.91\u2003\u00b1\u20033.4, respectively) compared with the normal group (\u22120.15\u2003dB\u2003\u00b1\u20030.9 and 0.95\u2003dB\u2003\u00b1\u20030.8, respectively). Univariate linear regression provided the best overall fit to the ranked segment data. The equation parameters of the regression line manually applied to the normalised rim area\u2013disc area and the rim area\u2013disc area ratio data, correctly classified 100% of normal subjects and glaucoma patients. In this study sample, the regression analysis of ranked segment parameters method was more effective than conventional ranked segment analysis, in which glaucoma patients were misclassified in approximately 50% of cases. Further investigation in larger samples will enable the calculation of confidence intervals for normality. These reference standards will then need to be investigated for an independent sample to fully validate the technique.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:\u2002<\/jats:bold>\n                    Using a curve\u2010fitting approach to fit ranked segment curves retains information relating to the topographic nature of neural loss. Such methodology appears to overcome some of the deficiencies of conventional ranked segment analysis, and subject to validation in larger scale studies, may potentially be of clinical utility for detecting and monitoring glaucomatous damage.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1475-1313.2006.00468.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,26]],"date-time":"2007-02-26T19:06:23Z","timestamp":1172516783000},"page":"194-200","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Regression analysis of ranked segment parameters for optic nerve head classification: a pilot study"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Robert P.","family":"Cubbidge","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sarah L.","family":"Hosking","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emma J.","family":"Hilton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonathan M.","family":"Gibson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","volume-title":"Heidelberg Retina Tomograph Operation Manual","author":"Anon","year":"1997"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00061198-199604000-00002"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00430414"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00130851"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1755-3768.1976.tb01801.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9394(14)72836-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0420.2000.078002137.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0420.1996.tb00054.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0420.1999.770103.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00061198-199908000-00003"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_1","volume-title":"Clinical Decisions in Glaucoma","author":"Hodapp E.","year":"1993"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00220705"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0039-6257(99)00092-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjo.84.5.464"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjo.78.10.760"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_17_1","first-page":"1151","article-title":"Optic disc, cup and neuroretinal rim size, configuration and correlation in normal eyes","volume":"29","author":"Jonas J.
