Abstract
The evaluation of several findings taken from fundus photographs is a technique widely used in mass screening of geriatric disorders and diagnoses of hypertension. The examination of fundus photographs is left to the pattern recognition ability of the individual physician. Along with the increasing occurrence of geriatric disorders, the quantity of work could well come to exceed the capacity of the physicians available. Nevertheless, there has been no research to date on the automatic reading of fundus photographs nor has there been any direct discussion of the technical possibility of automation in this area.
