title: Application of digital image processing to evaluation of eye fundus pictures. Preliminary report.
abstract: An application of computerized digital analysis to photographically recorded pictures of the fundus of the eye is described. This approach has been found as a reproducible and objective method for detection and description of different changes in ocular tissues (exudative diabetic maculopathy especially) for the diagnostic or prognostic purposes (progress of the illness, results of the treatment). Possibilities offered by this method in other relevant retrospective studies are also discussed.
