Weakly Supervised Sensitive Heatmap framework to classify and localize diabetic retinopathy lesions.

Vision loss happens due to diabetic retinopathy (DR) in severe stages. Thus, an automatic detection method applied to diagnose DR in an earlier phase may help medical doctors to make better decisions. DR is considered one of the main risks, leading to blindness. Computer-Aided Diagnosis systems play an essential role in detecting features in fundus images. Fundus images may include blood vessels, ...

Analysing the effect of robotic gait on lower extremity muscles and classification by using deep learning.

Robotic gait training helps the nervous system recover and strengthen weak muscle groups. Many studies in the literature show that applying robotic gait rehabilitation to patients with neurological disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Stroke and Spinal Cord Injection (SCI) effectively restores gait ability. In contrast to the studies in the literature that included only healthy individuals, ...
