Analysis of Color Consistency in Retinal Fundus Photography: Application of Color Management and Development of an Eye Model Standard

Abstract EN

Color variation in retinal fundus photography represents a significant gap in the standardization of color for fundus cameras.

Fundus cameras are used in the context of ophthalmology as a method of documenting a patient’s retina to monitor pathology over time.

This form of ophthalmic imaging is also used in clinical trial research and, increasingly, teleophthalmology, as a stand in for an in-person examination.

Given the increased reliance on these images as representations of the appearance of a patient’s eye, it becomes important to identify inconsistencies between devices and provide the most accurate rendering of the retina possible.
