Nonproliferative retinopathy in diabetes type 2. Initial stages and characterization of phenotypes [PDF]
This review addresses the initial stages of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy in diabetes type 2. The natural history of the initial lesions occurring in the diabetic retina has particular relevance for our understanding and management of diabetic retinal disease, one of the major causes of vision loss in the western world. Diabetic retinal lesions

Microaneurysm Counting as a Biomarker for the Hyperperfusion Stage of Nonproliferative Diabetic Retinopathy. [PDF]
This study aimed to investigate the utility of microaneurysm (MA) counting as a tool for characterizing the hyperperfusion stage of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and to examine the hypothesis that MAs can serve as a surrogate biomarker for the presence of intraretinal microvascular abnormalities (IRMAs).Forty-nine (n = 49) eyes with type

Understanding nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy progression using noninvasive imaging. [PDF]
Abstract It is well accepted that only a subset of individuals with diabetes is expected to progress to advanced retinopathy and is at risk of losing functional vision. It is, therefore, of major relevance to identify this subset of patients and when they enter into rapid progression.

Computer Classification of Nonproliferative Diabetic Retinopathy [PDF]
To propose methods for computer grading of the severity of 3 early lesions, namely, hemorrhages and microaneurysms, hard exudates, and cotton-wool spots, and classification of nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) based on these 3 types of lesions.Using a computer diagnostic system developed earlier, the number of each of the 3 early lesions and
