Abstract: There are lots of imaging technologies in the ocular fundus disease field,including ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM),fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA),indocynine green angiography (ICGA),fundus photograph (FP) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT).However there is no standard for image formats among various fundus imaging equipment,technology application processes,thus the relevant data cannot be compared and analyzed.And improper operation of the instruments causes unstable image quality or image missing.Also lack of appropriate evaluation guidelines results in different interpretation of same image data.These three factors not only affect the fundus imaging device application efficiency,limit the sharing of fundus imaging resource,but also hinder the development of fundus imaging diagnostic applications.Therefore,instrument types,data acquisition protocol and data presenting formats should be standardized for ocular fundus image acquisition.The technicians who operate the machine should be trained regularly to follow the standard operating procedure of data acquiring,thus to ensure integrity,truthful and reliable data is collected.In order to enhance the application efficiency of fundus imaging equipment,save public health resources,to promote fundus imaging diagnostic technology development,we need to develop evaluation guidelines for fundus image data,establish a comprehensive system including remote consultation center,reading center and quality control center.
