Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Die Smartphone-basierte Fundusfotografie (SBF) stellt eine innovative und kostengünstige Möglichkeit zur Bildgebung des Augenhintergrundes dar. Seit den ersten Anwendungsberichten von vor über 10 Jahren wurde eine Vielzahl an Studien zu unterschiedlichen Adaptern und klinischen Anwendungen publiziert.
Ziel der Arbeit
Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, einen Überblick zur Entwicklung der SBF, zu bisherigen Anwendungsbereichen und Adaptern zu geben.
Material und Methoden
Es wurde eine Literaturrecherche in den Datenbanken MEDLINE und Science Citation Index Expanded ohne zeitliche Einschränkung durchgeführt.
Ergebnisse
Elf Adapter wurden eingeschlossen und hinsichtlich beispielhaftem Bildmaterial, dargestellten Fundusbereich, Anschaffungskosten, Gewicht, Software, Anwendungsbereich, Smartphone-Kompatibilität und Zertifizierung verglichen. Bislang publizierte Anwendungsbereiche der SBF sind das Screening auf diabetische Retinopathie, Glaukom und Frühgeborenenretinopathie sowie ein Einsatz in der Notfallmedizin, Pädiatrie und medizinischen Lehre. Die Bildqualität konventioneller Geräte ist der SBF im Allgemeinen überlegen. Erste Ansätze zur automatischen Detektion diabetischer Retinopathie auf Smartphone-basierten Fundusbildern sind vielversprechend. Der Einsatz automatischer Bildverarbeitungsalgorithmen ermöglicht die Erstellung von Weitwinkelaufnahmen.
Diskussion
Die SBF ist eine vielseitig einsetzbare, mobile und kostengünstige Alternative zu konventionellen Geräten für die Fundusfotografie. Darüber hinaus eignet sie sich im Rahmen telemedizinischer Ansätze zur Delegation einfacher ophthalmologischer Untersuchungen an Hilfspersonal und könnte zur Vereinfachung von Befunddokumentation, Verbesserung der Lehre und v. a. in Ländern mit niedrigem/mittlerem Einkommen zur Verbesserung der augenärztlichen Versorgung beitragen.
Abstract
Background
Smartphone-based fundus imaging (SBFI) is an innovative and low-cost alternative for color fundus photography. Since the first reports on this topic more than 10 years ago a large number of studies on different adapters and clinical applications have been published.
Objective
The aim of this review article is to provide an overview on the development of SBFI and adapters and clinical applications published so far.
Material and methods
A literature search was performed using the MEDLINE and Science Citation Index Expanded databases without time restrictions.
Results
Overall, 11 adapters were included and compared in terms of exemplary image material, field of view, acquisition costs, weight, software, application range, smartphone compatibility and certification. Previously published SBFI applications are screening for diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and retinopathy of prematurity as well as the application in emergency medicine, pediatrics and medical education/teaching. Image quality of conventional retinal cameras is in general superior to SBFI. First approaches on automatic detection of diabetic retinopathy through SBFI are promising and the use of automatic image processing algorithms enables the generation of wide-field image montages.
Conclusion
SBFI is a versatile, mobile, low-cost alternative to conventional equipment for color fundus photography. In addition, it facilitates the delegation of ophthalmological examinations to assistance personnel in telemedical settings, could simplify retinal documentation, improve teaching, and improve ophthalmological care, particularly in countries with low and middle incomes.
