A surgical planner for robotic pan retinal photocoagulation to treat diabetic retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is an eye disease that results in neovascularisation and causes blindness in diabetic patients. In order to prevent blindness, pan retinal photocoagulation by laser is performed by ophthalmologist. This is a tedious and time consuming treatment procedure, in which about 30...
