Description:
The retina is easily affected by changes to oxygen supply, and neurological disorders, along with eye-health issues such as Retinopathy of Prematurity and Diabetic Retinopathy. As a result, several disorders can cause visible changes to various features of the retina. The best way for Ophthalmologists to identify these changes and recommend treatment is by using pictures of the retina. Images taken of the retina can be of poor quality and hinders the ability to identify and diagnose health problems. Aurteen Inc. is developing software that will automatically identify image-quality issues and attempt to correct them, thereby improving Ophthalmologists’ ability to diagnose clinically-relevant anomalies and issues using retinal images.
