Imaging methods by using computer techniques provide doctors assistance at any time and relieve their workload, especially for iterative processes like identifying objects of interest such as lesions and anatomical structures from the…
Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that leads to irreversible vision loss. Most of the existing automatic screening methods firstly segment the main structure, and subsequently calculate the clinical measurement for detection and screening…
Long-term vertebral fractures severely affect the life quality of patients, causing kyphotic, lumbar deformity and even paralysis. Computed tomography (CT) is a common clinical examination to screen for this disease at early stages.…
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a prominent cause of blindness in the world. The early treatment of DR can be conducted from detection of microaneurysms (MAs) which appears as reddish spots in retinal images. An automated microaneurysm…
Retinal vessel segmentation based on deep learning requires a lot of manual labeled data. That is time-consuming, laborious and professional. What is worse, the acquisition of abundant fundus images is difficult. These problems are more…
Objectives: To evaluate the performance of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system (Pegasus, Visulytix Ltd., UK), at the detection of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) from images captured by a handheld portable fundus camera. Methods: A cohort of…
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a serious microvascular complication of diabetes, and one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide. Although automated detection and grading, with Deep Learning (DL), can reduce the burden on…
WHO has declared that more than 2.2 billion people worldwide are suffering from visual disorders, such as media haze, glaucoma, and drusen. At least 1 billion of these cases could have been either prevented or successfully treated, yet they…
In many applications, input data are sampled functions taking their values in infinite dimensional spaces rather than standard vectors. This fact has complex consequences on data analysis algorithms that motivate modifications of them. In…
Early detection of microaneurysms (MAs), the first sign of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), is an essential first step in automated detection of DR to prevent vision loss and blindness. This study presents a novel and different algorithm for…
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most threatening complications of diabetes that leads to permanent blindness if left untreated. One of the essential challenges is early detection, which is very important for treatment success.…
Interpretability is a key factor in the design of automatic classifiers for medical diagnosis. Deep learning models have been proven to be a very effective classification algorithm when trained in a supervised way with enough data. The main…
Diabetic eye disease is one of the fastest growing causes of preventable blindness. With the advent of anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) therapies, it has become increasingly important to detect center-involved diabetic macular…
Visual artefacts of early diabetic retinopathy in retinal fundus images are usually small in size, inconspicuous, and scattered all over retina. Detecting diabetic retinopathy requires physicians to look at the whole image and fixate on…
The morphology of blood vessels in retinal fundus images is an important indicator of diseases like glaucoma, hypertension and diabetic retinopathy. The accuracy of retinal blood vessels segmentation affects the quality of retinal image…
Substantial evidence indicates that major psychiatric disorders are associated with distributed neural dysconnectivity, leading to strong interest in using neuroimaging methods to accurately predict disorder status. In this work, we are…
Feature Selection (FS) has become the focus of much research on decision support systems areas for which data sets with tremendous number of variables are analyzed. In this paper we present a new method for the diagnosis of Coronary Artery…
Glaucoma is a severe blinding disease, for which automatic detection methods are urgently needed to alleviate the scarcity of ophthalmologists. Many works have proposed to employ deep learning methods that involve the segmentation of optic…
Fundus image quality is crucial for diagnosing eye diseases, but real-world conditions often result in blurred or unreadable images, increasing diagnostic uncertainty. To address these challenges, this study proposes RetinaRegen, a hybrid…
Large medical image data sets with high dimensionality require substantial amount of computation time for data creation and data processing. This paper presents a novel generalized method that finds optimal image-based feature sets that…
