A Portable, Inexpensive, Nonmydriatic Fundus Camera Based on the Raspberry Pi® Computer
Purpose. Nonmydriatic fundus cameras allow retinal photography without pharmacologic dilation of the pupil. However, currently available nonmydriatic fundus cameras are bulky, not portable, and expensive. Taking advantage of recent advances in mobile technology, we sought to create a nonmydriatic fundus camera that was affordable and could be carried in a white coat pocket. Methods. We built a ...

متن کاملImproved illumination in indirect ophthalmoscopy.
THE indirect method of ophthalmoscopy offers several advantages over the direct method; these include larger field of view, better penetration of hazy media, greater depth of focus, and closer approach to the ora serrata (Schepens and Bahn, 1950). These features are of especial importance in cases of detachment of the retina, where the necessity of studying the topography and locating all the t...
متن کاملExploratory Dijkstra forest based automatic vessel segmentation: applications in video indirect ophthalmoscopy (VIO)
We present a methodology for extracting the vascular network in the human retina using Dijkstra's shortest-path algorithm. Our method preserves vessel thickness, requires no manual intervention, and follows vessel branching naturally and efficiently. To test our method, we constructed a retinal video indirect ophthalmoscopy (VIO) image database from pediatric patients and compared the segmentat...
