Nonmydriatic Digital Ocular Fundus Photography on the iPhone 3G: The FOTO-ED Study

Detection of Papilloedema Study (DOPS): rates of false positive papilloedema in the community

“…In our study, the detection of papilloedema by fundus photography was extremely sensitive, even among EM physicians, consistent with previous reports [16,[23][24][25]. That three raters missed the same case of unilateral papilloedema suggests a need to highlight that papilloedema may be asymmetric [26].…”

“…In Asia, its use for telemedical purposes is well reported. Our observation is in support of these studies [5,6]. The method used for image capture has a learning curve.…”

Fundus Photography vs. Ophthalmoscopy Outcomes in the Emergency Department (FOTO-ED) Phase III: Web-based, In-service Training of Emergency Providers

“…This is especially true given the ease with which digital photographs can be transferred in a secure fashion to other providers for telemedical evaluation, even over great distances. 13 Overall, it does seem reasonable to expect EPs to review fundus photographs more frequently than they did in this study (about 45% of the time among the trained providers), since tele-ophthalmic review is unlikely to occur in real time and evaluation of the ocular fundus is generally recognized as a required part of the physical examination for patients presenting with the features included in this study. 14 Thus, developing new tools to provide relevance to fundus findings in patient management scenarios may help to improve the frequency with which EPs review fundus photographs and ensure that important findings are not missed at the time of ED evaluation.…”
