Abstract
A system for the assessment of hypertension through the measurement of retinal vessels in fundoscopy images, is presented. The proposed approach employs multiple image analysis methods, in an integrated system that is used in clinical practice. Automating the measurement process enables the conduct of a clinical study that, for the first time, shows the correlation between macrovascular and microvascular alterations, based on numerous measurements acquired by this system. Experience and perspectives gained from clinical usage and evaluation are reported.
