Spectral imaging of the human ocular fundus

Visual and photographic examination of the back of the eye, or fundus, is a critical tool in diagnosing and monitoring both ocular and systemic diseases. Current techniques are not optimized for visualization of fundus tissue classes. High-resolution spectral imaging, which measures the spectral properties at spatially resolved points across the scene, has been applied to the examination of the ocular fundus. Spectral features resulting from this data provide good and consistent separation of the fundus tissue classes corresponding to normal anatomy
