Title
Computer aided diagnosis system for retinal analysis: automatic assessment of the vascular tortuosity.
Abstract
The tortuosity of a vessel, that is, how many times a vessel curves, and how these turns are, is an important value for the diagnosis of certain diseases. Clinicians analyze fundus images manually in order to estimate it, but there is many drawbacks as it is a tedious, time-consuming and subjective work. Thus, automatic image processing methods become a necessity, as they make possible the efficient computation of objective parameters. In this paper we will discuss Sirius (System for the Integration of Retinal Images Understanding Service), a web-based application that enables the storage and treatment of various types of diagnostic tests and, more specifically, its tortuosity calculation module.
