Overview

Ophthalmic imaging includes fundus photography optical coherence tomography and ultrasound. It evaluates retinal and optic nerve pathology. Imaging guides diagnosis and treatment of ocular disease.

Optical Coherence Tomography

OCT provides high resolution cross sectional images of the retina. It is essential for macular disease and glaucoma assessment. Quantitative metrics support monitoring and therapy decisions.

Ultrasound and MRI

Ocular ultrasound evaluates vitreous and retinal detachment and tumors. MRI assesses orbital masses and optic nerve pathology. Imaging complements clinical ophthalmic examination.

Teleophthalmology

Digital imaging enables remote screening and monitoring of eye disease. Teleophthalmology expands access to diabetic retinopathy screening. Secure image transfer and standardized reporting support programs.

Overview

AI analyzes retinal images and OCT to detect diabetic retinopathy glaucoma and macular disease. Automated screening expands access to eye care and early intervention. Integration with referral pathways ensures timely treatment.

Techniques

Deep learning models process fundus photos and OCT volumes for classification and segmentation. Quality control flags poor images for repeat acquisition. Multimodal fusion improves diagnostic accuracy.

Deployment

Cloud and edge solutions enable scalable screening and teleophthalmology. Training of technicians and quality assurance maintain image quality. Data governance protects patient privacy and consent.

Impact

Early detection reduces vision loss and improves population eye health. Screening programs measure referral rates and treatment outcomes. Continuous evaluation ensures program effectiveness.
