Rare diseases (RD) occur with a prevalence of less than 1:2,000 persons (EU definition). More than 8,000 RD are known, often genetically determined. Due to their rare occurrence, the RD are often not diagnosed at all, incorrectly or with a long delay diagnosed. Medical experts are mainly involved in selected Centers for Rare Diseases available.The goal of the LEUKO-Expert project is to establish an expert system for the diagnostic support of RD Leukodystrophy and to evaluate it within the scope ...

The study employed high quality non-mydriatic (i.e. pupil dilation is not required) fundus photography (FP) (Oculus Nidek AFC-230, 45 FOV) and a infra-red reflectance (IR) en face image obtained by scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) (Heidelberg Spectralis, 30 FOV) to produce representative images of the retina and optic nerve. In order to prove the scale invariance property of tortuosity metrics, ophthalmological photographs from 18 subjects, both eyes, were randomly extracted from the ...
