Abstract
In this paper the GREDEA system is presented. The main idea behind it is that with the help of evolutionary algorithms a grammatical description of the blood circulation of the human retina can be inferred. The system uses parametric Lindenmayer systems as description language. It can be applied on patients with diabetes who need to be monitored over long periods.
