In this paper, we provide a new framework on deep learning based automated screening method for finding individuals at risk of developing Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). We studied the appropriateness of using the transfer learning to screen ...
BACKGROUND: Cotton-wool spots also referred as soft exudates are the early signs of complications in the eye fundus of the patients suffering from diabetic retinopathy. Early detection of exudates helps in the diagnosis of the disease and provides be...
IMPORTANCE: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects millions of people throughout the world. The intermediate stage may go undetected, as it typically is asymptomatic. However, the preferred practice patterns for AMD recommend identifying indi...
