Diabetic retinopathy is the basic reason for visual deficiency. This paper introduces a programmed strategy to identify and dispense with the blood vessels. The location of the blood vessels is the fundamental stride in the discovery of…
The Hillel Yaffe Age Related Macular Degeneration (HYAMD) dataset is a longitudinal collection of 1,560 Digital Fundus Images (DFIs) from 325 patients examined at the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center (Hadera, Israel) between 2021 and 2024. The…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. An early detection is crucial for slowing down the disease and mitigating risks related to the progression. While the combination of MRI and FDG-PET is the best image-based tool…
Angiogenesis recapitulates the growth of blood vessels that progressively expand and remodel into a highly organized and stereotyped vascular network. During adulthood, endothelial cells that formed the vascular wall retain their plasticity…
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of inherited degenerative eye diseases characterized by mutations in the genetic structure of the photoreceptors that leads to the premature death of both rod and cone photoreceptors. Defects in…
Segmentation of blood vessels in retinal images provides early diagnosis of diseases like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. Among these diseases occurrence of Glaucoma is most frequent and has serious ocular…
Worldwide, sight loss is commonly occurred by retinal diseases, with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) being a notable facet that affects elderly patients. Approaching 170 million persons wide-ranging have been spotted with AMD, a…
Purpose: Disease progression of retinal atrophy associated with AMD requires the accurate quantification of the retinal atrophy changes on longitudinal OCT studies. It is based on finding, comparing, and delineating subtle atrophy changes…
This paper studies automated categorization of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) given a multi-modal input, which consists of a color fundus image and an optical coherence tomography (OCT) image from a specific eye. Previous work uses…
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a growing health problem worldwide and is a leading cause of visual impairment and blindness, especially among working people aged 20-65. Its incidence is increasing along with the number of diabetes cases, and…
In the complex realm of cognitive disorders, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) are the two most prevalent dementia types, presenting entangled symptoms yet requiring distinct treatment approaches. The crux of effective…
Noisy data and the similarity in the ocular appearances caused by different ophthalmic pathologies pose significant challenges for an automated expert system to accurately detect retinal diseases. In addition, the lack of knowledge…
Atherosclerosis is a disease characterized by the development of atherosclerotic plaques (APs) in arterial endothelium. The APs in part of an arterial wall are inhomogeneous on size and on distribution. In order to understand this…
Shadow artifacts from retinal vessels hinder the development of quantitative choroidal biomarkers in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), which limits the clinical applications of the choroidal OCT to the measures of layer thickness. In this…
The reliable segmentation of retinal vasculature can provide the means to diagnose and monitor the progression of a variety of diseases affecting the blood vessel network, including diabetes and hypertension. We leverage the power of…
The choroid is vascular tissue located underneath the retina and supplies oxygen to the outer retina; any damage to this tissue can be a precursor to retinal disease. Choroid is almost invisible in Enhanced Depth Imaging Optical Coherence…
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an abnormal blood vessel development in the retina of a prematurely-born infant or an infant with low birth weight. ROP is one of the leading causes for infant blindness globally. Early detection of ROP…
The macular pigment (MP) in the radially-oriented Henle fibers that surround the foveola enables the ability to perceive the orientation of polarized blue light through an entoptic phenomena known as the Haidinger's brush. The MP has been…
The change of retinal vasculature is an early sign of many vascular and systematic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension. Different behaviors of retinal arterioles and venules form an important metric to measure the disease severity.…
Age progression and regression refers to aesthetically render-ing a given face image to present effects of face aging and rejuvenation, respectively. Although numerous studies have been conducted in this topic, there are two major problems:…
