Abstract

Scotland was the first nation to introduce automated retinopathy screening into its national diabetic retinopathy screening (DRS) (July 2011). The autograder was deployed as an additional grader in each health board and assigned a proportion of images in the grading queue according to the each board's workload. We conducted an audit to analyse the real world impact of using automated grading. The system is thoroughly internally(IQA) and externally(EQA) quality assured for false negatives rates for referable retinopathy and image quality.
