Abstract:

Fundus imaging is a process where 3D structure of retina is projected onto the 2D plane. With the characteristics of quick and convenient,  fundus imaging was widely used in ophthalmological fields,  especially in the screening,  diagnosis and therapeutic assessment of ocular fundus diseases. Recent years,  the development of confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope (cSLO) technology have enable non-mydriatic fundus imaging with high resolution and can show layers in retina and chorioid separately,  which can help us understand fundus diseases more deeply.
