OBJECTIVE: To estimate the possibility of diagnosis of malignant pleural effusion using convolutional neural networks of facies images of pleural exudates obtained by the method of wedge-shaped dehydration.
PURPOSE: Heatmapping techniques can support explainability of deep learning (DL) predictions in medical image analysis. However, individual techniques have been mainly applied in a descriptive way without an objective and systematic evaluation. We in...
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common chronic fundus disease, which has four different kinds of microvessel structure and microvascular lesions: microaneurysms (MAs), hemorrhages (HEs), hard exudates, and soft exudates. Accurate detection and countin...
BACKGROUND: Retinal exudates and/or drusen (RED) can be signs of many fundus diseases that can lead to irreversible vision loss. Early detection and treatment of these diseases are critical for improving vision prognosis. However, manual RED screenin...
Diabetic retinopathy is a chronic condition that causes vision loss if not detected early. In the early stage, it can be diagnosed with the aid of exudates which are called lesions. However, it is arduous to detect the exudate lesion due to the avail...
Fundus is the only structure that can be observed without trauma to the human body. By analyzing color fundus images, the diagnosis basis for various diseases can be obtained. Recently, fundus image segmentation has witnessed vast progress with the d...
Blood and fluid analysis is extensively used for classifying the etiology of pleural effusion. However, most studies focused on determining the presence of a disease. This study classified pleural effusion etiology employing deep learning models by a...
BACKGROUND: Traumatic knee injuries are challenging to diagnose accurately through radiography and to a lesser extent, through CT, with fractures sometimes overlooked. Ancillary signs like joint effusion or lipo-hemarthrosis are indicative of fractur...
The purpose of the study was to detect Hard Exudates (HE) and classify Disorganization of Retinal Inner Layers (DRIL) implementing a Deep Learning (DL) system on optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME). We ...
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays a pivotal role in the inflammatory response of diabetic wounds, providing critical insights for clinicians in the development of personalized treatment strategies. However, the low concentration of IL-6 in biological sample...
