Fractal Characterization of Retinal Microvascular Network Morphology During Diabetic Retinopathy Progression

ConclusionsSevere stages of diabetic retinopathy could be detected non ‐invasively by using high resolution fundus photography and automatic microvascular segmentation to the high number of branching generations, followed by fractal analysis parametrization. This approach could improve risk stratification for the development of microvascular complications, cardiovasc ular disease and dementia in diabetes.This article is protected by copyright.
