Early identification of high-risk patients and early diagnosis and timely treatment of ROP can substantially improve patients' visual outcomes. However, manual screening consumes both time and resources. Telescreening using retinal fundus images has the potential to reduce the burden engendered by the necessity of on-site screening. Recently, substantial progress has been made in using computer-aided diagnosis with retinal fundus images, and this approach has attracted considerable attention for the diagnosis of eye diseases. Abnormalities of and alterations in retinal blood vessels may relate to the occurrence and progression of ROP. In this study, we examined the hypothesis that ROP severity may be associated with the angle and width of arteries and veins. We computationally determined the artery\u2013artery and vein\u2013vein angles in the temporal quadrants\u2014the temporal artery angle (TAA) and temporal vein angle (TVA)\u2014under normal conditions and in different ROP stages. We also estimated retinal vessel width\u2014temporal artery width (TAW) and temporal vein width (TVW)\u2014by applying the Radon transform method to fundus images. Our results revealed significant decreases in TAA and TVA and increases in TAW and TVW with increasing ROP severity (all\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &amp;lt; 0.0001).In addition, we observed positive TAA\u2013TVA and TAW\u2013TVW correlations (both\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &amp;lt; 0.0001). The TAA was negatively correlated with the TAW (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    = \u22120.162,\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.0314). These retinal vessel features may be useful in assisting ophthalmologists in the early detection of ROP and its progression.\n
