Abstract

Developments in retinal imaging technologies have enabled the quantitative evaluation of the retinal vasculature. Changes in retinal calibre and/or geometry have been reported in systemic vascular diseases, including diabetes mellitus (DM), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and more recently in neurodegenerative diseases, such as dementia. Several retinal vessel analysis softwares exist, some being disease-specific, others for a broader context. In the research setting, retinal vasculature analysis using semi-automated software has identified associations between retinal vessel calibre and geometry and the presence of or risk of DM and its chronic complications, and of CVD and dementia, including in the general population. In this article, we review and compare the most widely used semi-automated retinal vessel analysis softwares and their associations with ocular imaging findings in common systemic diseases, including DM and its chronic complications, CVD, and dementia. We also provide original data comparing retinal calibre grading in people with Type 1 DM using two softwares, with good concordance.

Funding Information:
Authors A. Jenkins, T. Peto, L. Brazionis, and A. Januszewski are investigators on an investigator initiated trial of fenofibrate in adults with diabetic retinopathy (the FAME-1 Eye trial) which is funded by the Australian NHMRC, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) Australia and Abbott (EU). A. Jenkins, L. Brazionis, A. Januszewski, and N. Quinn have published research related to the FIELD trial of fenofibrate in diabetes retinopathy.
