Globally, in 2016, one out of eleven adults suffered from Diabetes Mellitus. Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU) are a major complication of this disease, which if not managed properly can lead to amputation. Current clinical approaches to DFU…

Foot ulcer is a common complication of diabetes mellitus and, associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, remains a major risk factor for lower leg amputations. Extracting accurate morphological features from foot wounds is crucial…

Diabetic foot ulcer is a severe condition that requires close monitoring and management. For training machine learning methods to auto-delineate the ulcer, clinical staff must provide ground truth annotations. In this paper, we propose a…

This paper presents FUSegNet, a new model for foot ulcer segmentation in diabetes patients, which uses the pre-trained EfficientNet-b7 as a backbone to address the issue of limited training samples. A modified spatial and channel…

Identifying individual tissues, so-called tissue segmentation, in diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) images is a challenging task and little work has been published, largely due to the limited availability of a clinical image dataset. To address…

Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) is a major complication of Diabetes, which if not managed properly can lead to amputation. DFU can appear anywhere on the foot and can vary in size, colour, and contrast depending on various pathologies. Current…

There has been a substantial amount of research involving computer methods and technology for the detection and recognition of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), but there is a lack of systematic comparisons of state-of-the-art deep learning…

This research conducts an investigation on the effect of visually similar images within a publicly available diabetic foot ulcer dataset when training deep learning classification networks. The presence of binary-identical duplicate images…

Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU) that affect the lower extremities are a major complication of diabetes. Each year, more than 1 million diabetic patients undergo amputation due to failure to recognize DFU and get the proper treatment from…

The Diabetic Foot Ulcer Challenge 2022 focused on the task of diabetic foot ulcer segmentation, based on the work completed in previous DFU challenges. The challenge provided 4000 images of full-view foot ulcer images together with…

Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) is a condition requiring constant monitoring and evaluations for treatment. DFU patient population is on the rise and will soon outpace the available health resources. Autonomous monitoring and evaluation of DFU…

Automated segmentation of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) plays a critical role in clinical diagnosis, therapeutic planning, and longitudinal wound monitoring. However, this task remains challenging due to the heterogeneous appearance,…

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) constitute a serious complication for people with diabetes. The care of DFU patients can be substantially improved through self-management, in order to achieve early-diagnosis, ulcer prevention, and complications…

Continuous monitoring of foot ulcer healing is needed to ensure the efficacy of a given treatment and to avoid any possibility of deterioration. Foot ulcer segmentation is an essential step in wound diagnosis. We developed a model that is…

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) detection is a clinically significant yet challenging task due to the scarcity and variability of publicly available datasets. To solve these problems, we propose ConMatFormer, a new hybrid deep learning…

The detection and removal of precancerous polyps through colonoscopy is the primary technique for the prevention of colorectal cancer worldwide. However, the miss rate of colorectal polyp varies significantly among the endoscopists. It is…

Detection of colon polyps has become a trending topic in the intersecting fields of machine learning and gastrointestinal endoscopy. The focus has mainly been on per-frame classification. More recently, polyp segmentation has gained…

Accurate computer-aided polyp detection and segmentation during colonoscopy examinations can help endoscopists resect abnormal tissue and thereby decrease chances of polyps growing into cancer. Towards developing a fully automated model for…

Colonoscopy is the gold standard for examination and detection of colorectal polyps. Localization and delineation of polyps can play a vital role in treatment (e.g., surgical planning) and prognostic decision making. Polyp segmentation can…

Every 20 seconds, a limb is amputated somewhere in the world due to diabetes. This is a global health problem that requires a global solution. The MICCAI challenge discussed in this paper, which concerns the automated detection of diabetic…
