retinalysis-vascx: An explainable software toolbox for the extraction of retinal vascular biomarkers
Researchers have developed VascX, an open-source Python toolbox designed to extract quantitative biomarkers from retinal vascular images. This software processes color fundus images to derive metrics such as vascular density, central retinal equivalents, and tortuosity. VascX aims to support large-scale clinical and epidemiological research by providing reproducible and explainable measurements, with most biomarkers demonstrating moderate to excellent test-retest agreement.
