    Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most significant retinal diseases that can lead to blindness. As a result, it is critical to receive a prompt diagnosis of the disease. Manual screening can result in misdiagnosis due to human error and limited human capability. In such cases, using a deep learning-based automated diagnosis of the disease could aid in early detection and treatment. In deep learning-based analysis, the original and segmented blood vessels are typically used for diagnosis. However, it is still unclear which approach is superior. In this study, a comparison of two deep learning approaches (Inception v3 and DenseNet-121) was performed on two different datasets of colored images and segmented images. The study’s findings revealed that the accuracy for original images on both Inception v3 and DenseNet-121 equaled 0.8 or higher, whereas the segmented retinal blood vessels under both approaches provided an accuracy of just greater than 0.6, demonstrating that the segmented vessels do not add much utility to the deep learning-based analysis. The study’s findings show that the original-colored images are more significant in diagnosing retinopathy than the extracted retinal blood vessels.
