摘要：

A digital image processing system has been developed to quantify the presence of microaneurysms in retinal fluorescein angiographic images. Automatic detection of microaneurysms in retinal angiographic images provides a valuable tool for early diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy. In this paper, a novel approach for detecting microaneurysms in retinal angiographic images is presented. The proposed scheme is based on the removal of blood vessels from the image and then classifying all. detected circular objects whether they are microaneurysms. The new technique provides significant improvement in the detection of microaneurysms over other currently available schemes in the literature.
