In a test project in Memphis, digital photos of patients' retinas are taken and relayed to a distant center housing a database containing thousands of images of diseased retinas. The computer automatically compares a patient's image to the database, quickly determining if there are any similarities. If there are, and the computer calculates a risk, it also provides a follow-up plan in a matter of minutes. If retinal diseases are diagnosed early, treatment can prevent blindness and ...
