Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), a vision-threatening complication of Dia-betes Mellitus (DM), is a major global concern, particularly in India, which has one of the highest diabetic populations. Prolonged hyperglycemia damages reti-nal…

This paper compares well-established Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to recently introduced Vision Transformers for the task of Diabetic Foot Ulcer Classification, in the context of the DFUC 2021 Grand-Challenge, in which this work…

Acute and chronic wounds with varying etiologies burden the healthcare systems economically. The advanced wound care market is estimated to reach $22 billion by 2024. Wound care professionals provide proper diagnosis and treatment with…

Diabetic foot ulcers are triggered by mechanical loadings applied to the surface of the plantar skin. Strain is considered to play a crucial role in relation to ulcer etiology and can be assessed by Finite Element (FE) modelling. A…

This work presents a comparative study of existing and new techniques to detect knee injuries by leveraging Stanford's MRNet Dataset. All approaches are based on deep learning and we explore the comparative performances of transfer learning…

In the modern world, one of the most severe eye infections brought on by diabetes is known as diabetic retinopathy, which will result in retinal damage, and, thus, lead to blindness. Diabetic retinopathy can be well treated with early…

Ultrasound examination for detecting fractures is ideally suited for Emergency Departments (ED) as it is relatively fast, safe (from ionizing radiation), has dynamic imaging capability and is easily portable. High interobserver variability…

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.…

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness among diabetic patients. Deep learning models have shown promising results in automating the detection of DR. In the present work, we propose a new methodology that integrates a…

Acute and chronic wounds have varying etiologies and are an economic burden to healthcare systems around the world. The advanced wound care market is expected to exceed $22 billion by 2024. Wound care professionals rely heavily on images…

Increasing numbers of patients with disabilities or elderly people with mobility issues often suffer from a pressure ulcer. The affected areas need regular checks, but they have a difficulty in accessing a hospital. Some remote diagnosis…

Universal lesion detection (ULD) on computed tomography (CT) images is an important but underdeveloped problem. Recently, deep learning-based approaches have been proposed for ULD, aiming to learn representative features from annotated CT…

Deep learning (DL) techniques have emerged as promising solutions for medical wound tissue segmentation. However, a notable limitation in this field is the lack of publicly available labelled datasets and a standardised performance…

Purpose: To compare the segmentation and detection performance of a deep learning model trained on a database of human-labelled clinical diffusion-weighted (DW) stroke lesions to a model trained on the same database enhanced with synthetic…

Diabetic foot ulcers pose health risks, including higher morbidity, mortality, and amputation rates. Monitoring wound areas is crucial for proper care, but manual segmentation is subjective due to complex wound features and background…

Diabetic retinopathy is a severe eye condition caused by diabetes where the retinal blood vessels get damaged and can lead to vision loss and blindness if not treated. Early and accurate detection is key to intervention and stopping the…

Localization of anatomical landmarks is essential for clinical diagnosis, treatment planning, and research. In this paper, we propose a novel deep network, named feature aggregation and refinement network (FARNet), for the automatic…

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), a leading cause of vision impairment in individuals with diabetes, affects approximately 34.6% of diabetes patients globally, with the number of cases projected to reach 242 million by 2045. Traditional DR…

The global burden of acute and chronic wounds presents a compelling case for enhancing wound classification methods, a vital step in diagnosing and determining optimal treatments. Recognizing this need, we introduce an innovative…

Ocular pathology detection from fundus images presents an important challenge on health care. In fact, each pathology has different severity stages that may be deduced by verifying the existence of specific lesions. Each lesion is…
