| Summary: | Abstract Ultrawidefield fundus (UWF) images have a wide imaging range (200° of the retinal region), which offers the opportunity to show more information for ophthalmic diseases. Image quality assessment (IQA) is a prerequisite for applying UWF and is crucial for developing artificial intelligence-driven diagnosis and screening systems. Most image quality systems have been applied to the assessments of natural images, but whether these systems are suitable for evaluating the UWF image quality remains debatable. Additionally, existing IQA datasets only provide photographs of diabetic retinopathy (DR) patients and quality evaluation results applicable for natural image, neglecting patients’ clinical information. To address these issues, we established a real-world clinical practice ultra-widefield fundus images dataset, with 700 high-resolution UWF images and corresponding clinical information from six common fundus diseases and healthy volunteers. The image quality is annotated by three ophthalmologists based on the field of view, illumination, artifact, contrast, and overall quality. This dataset illustrates the distribution of UWF image quality across diseases in clinical practice, offering a foundation for developing effective IQA systems. |
