The accurate diagnosis of retinal diseases, such as Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) and Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), is essential for preventing vision loss. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging plays a crucial role in identifying these...
OBJECTIVE: Hyperreflective foci (HRF) are small, punctate lesions ranging from 20 to 50 m and exhibiting high reflective intensity in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR). The purpose of the model prop...
Glaucoma, an optic nerve disease resulting in blindness if left untreated, is a difficult condition in healthcare in view of its diagnostic difficulties. Past approaches are based on assessment of the fundus images and the size of the cup and the dis...
BACKGROUND: In diabetic retinopathy, precise segmentation of retinal vessels is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective disease management. This task is particularly challenging due to the varying sizes of vessels, their bifurcations, and the ...
BACKGROUND: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide. Machine learning (ML) systems can enhance DR in community-based screening. However, predictive power models for usability and performance are still being d...
Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) is a major complication of diabetic retinopathy characterized by fluid accumulation in the macula, leading to vision impairment. The standard treatment involves anti-VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) therapy, but ...

AIMS: We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of artificial intelligence (AI)-based diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening in Japan. This evaluation compared the simultaneous introduction of AI in nationwide health checkups, namely "specific health check-up...
Diabetic retinopathy stands as a leading cause of blindness among people. Manual examination of DR images is labor-intensive and prone to error. Existing methods to detect this disease often rely on handcrafted features which limit the adaptability a...
Diabetic retinopathy, a retinal disorder resulting from diabetes mellitus, is a prominent cause of visual degradation and loss among the global population. Therefore, the identification and classification of diabetic retinopathy are of utmost importa...
