Computer Aided Design for Diabetic Retinopathy

Computer aided diagnosis and follow up can help in prevention and treatment of diabetes and its related complications. This paper presents a summary of the results we obtained over the last few years regarding the development of a CAD system for diabetic retinopathy. We present a methodology for diagnosis of DME based on exudates segmentation, as well as an automated detection of micro-aneurysm (MA) and DR diagnosis; Our approach uses standard available public database and shows a high power of generalization through cross database experiments.
