Abstract
A method for detecting a disease such as Alzheimer's disease by analysis of retinal vasculature is disclosed. The method for detecting a disease by analysis of retinal vasculature may include applying a combination of optical retro mode illumination techniques to acquire a plurality of amyloid beta plaques and drusen images that are too small to be seen with other imaging modalities. The disease may also be detected with a non-transitory computer storage media having instructions stored thereon which, when executed, execute the method for detecting a disease by analysis of retinal vasculature. The method may track changes in lumen thickness, plaque, size, area and density of the disease by analysis of retinal vasculature over a predetermined period of time.
