Abstract
Automated methods for mass screening of diabetic retinopathy can potentially address the limited sensitivity, higher cost, longer turnaround times, and low reproducibility of human readers. This chapter introduces the typical computer algorithms and imaging protocols that have been used to test and validate automated screening, as well as the diabetic retinopathy stages that are typically screened for. It explains the choices between higher sensitivity as a safety issue and higher productivity as an effectiveness issue and contains a review of all studies of mass screening with automated methods that are available in the scientific literature.
