A smart hyperspectral system for early, non-invasive diagnosis of retinal disease

Project description

Novel imaging diagnostics for retinal disease

Advances in retinal imaging are fundamental for the understanding and treatment of ocular diseases. The EU-funded XpeFundus project focusses on imaging diagnostics aiming to develop a new hyperspectral camera for the visualisation of the eye fundus (the interior surface of the eye opposite the lens which includes the retina, optic disc, macula, fovea and posterior pole). This novel camera is a complete diagnostic tool with AI-powered visualisation software that not only enables the rapid and non-invasive clinical evaluation of retinal diseases but could also be a valuable tool for laser treatment, educational purposes and medical research.
