BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Patients with angle-closure glaucoma (ACG) are asymptomatic until they experience a painful attack. Shallow anterior chamber depth (ACD) is considered a significant risk factor for ACG. We propose a deep learning approach t...
Segmentation is a fundamental task in biomedical image analysis. Unlike the existing region-based dense pixel classification methods or boundary-based polygon regression methods, we build a novel graph neural network (GNN) based deep learning framewo...
PURPOSE: Accurately segmenting curvilinear structures, for example, retinal blood vessels or nerve fibers, in the medical image is essential to the clinical diagnosis of many diseases. Recently, deep learning has become a popular technology to deal w...
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a predominant cause of visual impairment and loss. Approximately 285 million worldwide population is affected with diabetes, and one-third of these patients have symptoms of DR. Specifically, it tends to affect the patien...

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss. Some patients experience vision loss over a delayed timeframe, others at a rapid pace. Physicians analyze time-of-visit fundus photographs to predict patient risk of developi...
Glaucoma is the second most common cause for blindness around the world and the third most common in Europe and the USA. Around 78 million people are presently living with glaucoma (2020). It is expected that 111.8 million people will have glaucoma b...
Glaucoma disease in humans can lead to blindness if it progresses to the point where it affects the oculus' optic nerve head. It is not easily detected since there are no symptoms, but it can be detected using tonometry, ophthalmoscopy, and perimeter...
Contemporary psychiatric diagnosis still relies on the subjective symptom report of the patient during a clinical interview by a psychiatrist. Given the significant variability in personal reporting and differences in the skill set of psychiatrists, ...
OBJECTIVE: To assess the ability of a deep learning model to distinguish between diabetic retinopathy (DR), sickle cell retinopathy (SCR), retinal vein occlusions (RVOs) and healthy eyes using ultra-widefield colour fundus photography (UWF-CFP).
Recently, many methods based on hand-designed convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved promising results in automatic retinal vessel segmentation. However, these CNNs remain constrained in capturing retinal vessels in complex fundus images....
