ABSTRACT
This paper present the medical diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy use different methods used around GCC(gulf cooperation council) countries like florescence angiography(FA), color fundus retinal photography(CFRP), slit light exam, optical coherence tomography(OCT), ultrasound test which also further incorporates the improvement and the drawback of the diagnostic method used.
Index- Diabetic retinopathy, Diagnosis, improvement
Diabetic retinopathy(DR) is a complication in which eyes are affected due to diabetes. It is a progressive condition in which retina (the blood vessels of the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye) is damaged. There are two types of DR which are: Non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and Proliferative …show more content…

In this method, ultrasound imaging is used to create picture of the retina. Sound waves with high frequency, more than 20,000 Hz, are sent through the eye and bounce back to the transducer which leads to a vibration of a piezo-electrical crystal in the transducer. Then, electrical impulses are generated and translated into an image of retina by the computer. The pros of this method is that if there is hemorrhage in vitreous humor the sound can pass through the blood and determine the condition of the retina. The limitations are meagre visualization of soft tissue and anatomic detail of orbit. Also, highly skilled personal is …show more content…

A retinal camera, which is specialized in low power microscope with a camera, is designed to take pictures of the retina. CFRP is also used to translate FA as some critical points measured by CFRP cannot be measured by FA. Before the procedure is initiated the patient’s eye is dilated to increase the angle of observation and have a clearer view of the retina. The advantages of this technique are that it is accurate and reproducible however it is labor intensive and requires highly skilled people to interpret the data. Also, it takes weeks to develop result which could be non-compliant from the patient’s

What is an ultrasound technician you ask? An ultrasound technician is a person employed, skilled, and licensed to use a machine to examine and see body structures such as, tendons , muscles, joints, vessels, and internal organs. The main idea is to find a disease. There is also what you call an obstetric ultrasound which is used specifically just for examining pregnant women.

3Cs (Customer) The differentiation value of 1-D Acuvue is convenience and the comfort of the product and less medical complications and hence unscheduled visitors to the opticians. Taking into consideration the past experience of the patients using VCP, the most likely potential users of 1 Day Acutuve will be current disposable lens users, However, despite the high potential the trial launch in western states has proven that the majority of patients are so-called “part-time users”, those who use both type of vision correction products (VCP): spectacles and lenses, with the average use of contact lenses being 4.4 days a week. Therefore the the primary market segment for 1-D Acuvue should be the the part-time contact lens wearer (~4 million

What is an sonography? Sonography or also known as ultrasonography is the use of ultrasound to produce an image of an organ or tissue (Davis ). Ultrasound is an inaudible sound in the frequency range of 20,000 to 10 million cycles/sec (Davis). The purpose of ultrasound images is to capture an image of organs and tissue.

Kevin Mc Kinney from the American academy of ophthalmology acknowledge that it exists different types of glaucoma and categorize them as follow: “1) Primary open angle glaucoma: this is the most common form of glaucoma. It occurs when the trabecular meshwork of the eye gradually becomes less efficient at draining fluid. 2) Normal tension glaucoma: that type of glaucoma arises even though the pressure in the eye is normal, but the optic nerve is damaged.3) Angle closure glaucoma: also called narrow angle glaucoma. It occurs when someone’s iris is very close to the drainage angle in their eye.

About 2.3 million Americans suffer from glaucoma. It is estimated that an additional 2 million have the disease but don 't know it” (NIH et al, 2015). We have to look at how racial differences that impact blindness. We also have to see the relationship that visual imparement has on heath related quality of life. A study,” Visual field defects and vision-specific health related quality of life in African American and whites with glaucoma”(Ringsdorf et al 2006).

The Gold Rush gave anybody that heard about it gold fever. For many, this may have been a good and positive outcome. Unfortunately, it was a curse to those who underestimated and misused the land. The Australian Gold Rush started around 1851 and brought gold diggers from around the world.

Then the returned signals are processed and displayed on the screen, as either a real image or different artefacts. Using an ultrasound, this is a simplified way of understanding an image acquisition. In the following text, the principles of ultrasound generation from a piezoelectric crystal and physical properties governing image creation are discussed, with appropriate examples. The principle: The ultrasound works on Doppler Effect, which is based on work by Austrian physicist Johann Christian Doppler.
