According to our research, where we analyseddifferent type 2 diabetic patients with nonproliferative retinopathy, Microaneurysm Turnover was a key factor for the classification in different phenotypes and appears to be a goog predictor of progression to Clinically Significant Macular Edema (CSME) - Professor Conceição Lobo, Leading ophthalmologist and researcher from the University Hospital of Coimbra, Portugal
RetmarkerDR consistently tracks each microaneurysm as a single entity in a specific location, with identifiable coordinates, providing valuable information.

Number of MAs found in the first visit.

Number of MAs found in a follow-up visit, identifying which ones are NEW, OLD or DISAPPEARED in this visit.

Turnover ratios: MA Formation Rate & MA Disappearance Rate.

Tracking Microaneurysms over time

Picture 1 of 3: In the first visit, RetmarkerDR automatically detected 3 Microaneurysms (MAs)
Picture 2 of 3: In the third visit, there were 1 New MA, 2 remain (Old)...
Picture 3 of 3: The patient Formation and Disappearance Rate are always visible on the right hand side

Detailed Image Analysis and Annotation in the Image Explorer

Picture 1 of 5: Manual lesion annotations (eg. Exudates) and comments can be inserted in each exam
Picture 2 of 5: The eye can also be divided in sub-fields and measures can the performed in the image.
Picture 3 of 5: The Image Explorer provides tools that allow to look at the same anatomical region of the eye
Picture 4 of 5: The user can zoom in just in that specific region of interest...
Picture 5 of 5: ...but even more important, he is able to look at what is really in the image.

Extend the Automated results with manually marked Microaneurysms

Picture 1 of 3: To add Microaneurysms (MAs), choose the proper image and select the proper tool.
Picture 2 of 3: Zooming in you can better look at your region of interest and mark the MA.
Picture 3 of 3: When navigating to another image, the software will show you precisely the same location.
RetmarkerDR colour-codes microaneurysms, classifying each one as NEW (red colour), OLD (green colour) or DISAPPEARED (yellow colour).
RetmarkerDR allows detailed examination of the patients' fundus photographs allowing, for example, to make measures on each subfield and insert comments and manual annotations (including exudates, hemorrhages and other lesions).
RetmarkerDR also allows the user to add new microaneurysms or even removing the automatically detected ones without ever compromising the automated results generated by the software.

With the microaneurysm turnover information, in a mild non proliferative stage of Diabetic Retinopathy, before the development of complications (either being diabetic macular edema or proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy) it is possible to predict the evolution of the disease for a Clinically Significant Macular Edema stage.

Recent findings from AIBILI supports that a follow-up at regular intervals (6 months suggested) in the early stages of diabetic retinopathy (before development of complications) can be used to predict the eyes that are at risk of progression into CSME.

RetmarkerDR integrates in the practice workflow and can also be used by technicians operating the fundus camera reducing the time doctors need to spend looking at the patient's exams.

All the information can be printed in a report that can go to the Patient Clinical Record or even be given to the patient.
