BACKGROUND: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness in adults worldwide. Artificial intelligence (AI) with autonomous deep learning algorithms has been increasingly used in retinal image analysis, particularly for the screening of r...
BACKGROUND: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetes and may lead to irreversible visual loss. Efficient screening and improved treatment of both diabetes and DR have amended visual prognosis for DR. The number of patients with ...
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Artificial intelligence can assist with ocular image analysis for screening and diagnosis, but it is not yet capable of autonomous full-spectrum screening. Hypothetically, false-positive results may have unrealized screening po...
The non-perfusion area (NPA) of the retina is an important indicator in the visual prognosis of patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). However, the current evaluation method of NPA, fluorescein angiography (FA), is invasive and burdensom...
To assess the feasibility of code-free deep learning (CFDL) platforms in the prediction of binary outcomes from fundus images in ophthalmology, evaluating two distinct online-based platforms (Google Vertex and Amazon Rekognition), and two distinct da...
This study aims to automate the segmentation of retinal arterioles and venules (A/V) from digital fundus images (DFI), as changes in the spatial distribution of retinal microvasculature are indicative of cardiovascular diseases, positioning the eyes ...

Diabetic retinopathy disease contains lesions (e.g., exudates, hemorrhages, and microaneurysms) that are minute to the naked eye. Determining the lesions at pixel level poses a challenge as each pixel does not reflect any semantic entities. Furthermo...
AIM: Hypertension and diabetes mellitus (DM) are major causes of morbidity and mortality, with growing burdens in low-income countries where they are underdiagnosed and undertreated. Advances in machine learning may provide opportunities to enhance d...
AIMS: Machine learning models can use image and text data to predict the number of years since diabetes diagnosis; such model can be applied to new patients to predict, approximately, how long the new patient may have lived with diabetes unknowingly....

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Early detection and grading of Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is essential to determine an adequate treatment and prevent severe vision loss. However, the manual analysis of fundus images is time consuming and DR screening progra...
