Originated from an NIH funded diabetic retinopathy research group beginning in the 1970’s II. Provides for standardized grading scales that are reproduceable across readers III. Requires stereo pairs for each field (28 images in a full imaging study) IV. Is the reference standard for clinical studies of diabetic retinopathy A. I, II B. I, III C. I, II, IV D. All of the above OD Panorama In retinal image set, the ETDRS diabetic retinopathy level is: A. Level 10 Diabetic Retinopathy Absent and no similar or confounding pathology seen. B. Level 14 Diabetic Retinopathy Absent, Other Pathology present No microaneurysms are present, but there are very small amounts of lipid deposits, cotton wool spots, or blood vessel abnormalities that can have other causes besides diabetes. C. Level 15 Diabetic Retinopathy Absent, Other Pathology present No microaneurysms are present, but there are a few, small retinal hemorrhages that can have other causes besides diabetes. D. Level 20 Mild Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR) Only microaneurysms are present. Microaneurysms are small out-pouchings on the capillary (small blood vessel).

D. Level 53 Severe NPDR Very large numbers of microaneurysms and retinal hemorrhages in several areas of the retina; moderate levels of IRMA in several locations; or venous beading in more than one location.
