Glaucoma is one of the most severe eye diseases, characterized by rapid progression and leading to irreversible blindness. It is often the case that diagnostics is carried out when one's sight has already significantly degraded due to the…

Fundus photography (FP) remains the primary imaging modality in screening various retinal diseases including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. FP allows the clinician to examine the ocular fundus…

Many diseases are classified based on human-defined rubrics that are prone to bias. Supervised neural networks can automate the grading of retinal fundus images, but require labor-intensive annotations and are restricted to the specific…

Fine-grained visual classification (FGVC) is challenging but more critical than traditional classification tasks. It requires distinguishing different subcategories with the inherently subtle intra-class object variations. Previous works…

This paper presents dilated Residual Network (ResNet) models for disease classification from retinal fundus images. Dilated convolution filters are used to replace normal convolution filters in the higher layers of the ResNet model (dilated…

Purpose: Convolutional neural networks can be trained to detect various conditions or patient traits based on retinal fundus photographs, some of which, such as the patient sex, are invisible to the expert human eye. Here we propose a…

In assessing the severity of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) Simplified Severity Scale predicts the risk of progression to late AMD. However, its manual use requires the time-consuming…

Objective: Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. Glaucomatous progression can be easily monitored by analyzing the degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Many researchers have screened glaucoma by measuring…

Ophthalmologists have used fundus images to screen and diagnose eye diseases. However, different equipments and ophthalmologists pose large variations to the quality of fundus images. Low-quality (LQ) degraded fundus images easily lead to…

Recent advancements in deep learning have shown significant potential for classifying retinal diseases using color fundus images. However, existing works predominantly rely exclusively on image data, lack interpretability in their…

Using deep learning models pre-trained on Imagenet is the traditional solution for medical image classification to deal with data scarcity. Nevertheless, relevant literature supports that this strategy may offer limited gains due to the…

Diabetic retinopathy is a common complication of diabetes, and monitoring the progression of retinal abnormalities using fundus imaging is crucial. Because the images must be interpreted by a medical expert, it is infeasible to screen all…

Foundation models are used to extract transferable representations from large amounts of unlabeled data, typically via self-supervised learning (SSL). However, many of these models rely on architectures that offer limited interpretability,…

A well-known retinal disease that sends blurry visions to the affected patients is Macular Degeneration. This research is based on classifying the healthy and macular degeneration fundus by localizing the affected region of the fundus. A…

Retinopathy represents a group of retinal diseases that, if not treated timely, can cause severe visual impairments or even blindness. Many researchers have developed autonomous systems to recognize retinopathy via fundus and optical…
