A novel approach to diagnose diabetes based on the fractal characteristics of retinal images.

A novel approach to diagnose diabetes based on the fractal characteristics of retinal images.

A novel diagnostic scheme to develop quantitative indexes of diabetes is introduced in this paper. The fractal dimension of the vascular distribution is estimated because we discovered that the fractal dimension of a severe diabetic patient's retinal vascular distribution appears greater than t...
