Abstract:

Diabetic retinopathy is the single largest cause of sight loss and blindness in 18 to 65 year olds. Screening programs for the estimated one to six per- cent of the diabetic population have been demonstrated to be cost and sight saving, howeverthere are insufficient screening resources. Automatic screen-ing systems may help solve this resource short fall. This thesis reports on research into an aspect of automatic grading of diabetic retinopathy; namely the identification of the retinal blood vessels in fundus photographs.

Abstract:

To ensure that the resources of the health care sector are used effectively, new technologies need to be evaluated before implementation to examine if they generate health outcomes at an acceptable cost. This information can be collected by performing health economic evaluations in which the costs and health outcomes of different technologies are compared. To estimate the effect on health care budgets, there is also a need for information about the prevalence of the specific disease. Health outcomes in health economic evaluations are often measured in quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), which

Abstract:

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes and a leading cause of blindness. Increased vascular permeability in the retina following blood-retinal barrier (BRB) breakdown is a clinically significant event and a major cause of vision loss. VEGF blockade, despite being the only treatment to improve visual acuity, has a limited effectiveness for a majority of patients. A significant proportion of patients develop resistance to treatment, which implies that other factors are also involved in the pathology of this disease. There is currently a major unmet cl

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a chronic, progressive and possibly vision-threatening eye disease. Early detection and diagnosis of DR, prior to the development of any lesions, is paramount for more efficiently dealing with it and managing its consequences. This thesis investigates and proposes a number of candidate geometric and haemodynamic biomarkers, derived from fundus images of the retinal vasculature, which can be reliably utilised for identifying the progression from diabetes to DR. Numerous studies exist in literature that investigate only some of these biomarkers in independent normal,

One of the most significant complications of diabetes is retinopathy.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a retinal vascular disease associated with diabetes and it is one of the most common causes of blindness worldwide. Diabetic patients regularly attend retinal screening in which digital retinal images are captured. These images undergo thorough analysis by trained individuals, which can be a very time consuming and costly task due to the large diabetic population. Therefore, this is a field that would greatly benefit from the introduction of automated detection systems.
