BACKGROUND: Infectious keratitis (IK) is a sight-threatening condition requiring immediate definite treatment. The need for prompt treatment heavily depends on timely diagnosis. The diagnosis of IK, however, is challenged by the drawbacks of the curr...
Corneal opacities are important causes of blindness, and their major etiology is infectious keratitis. Slit-lamp examinations are commonly used to determine the causative pathogen; however, their diagnostic accuracy is low even for experienced ophtha...
PURPOSE: To determine whether convolutional neural networks can detect morphological differences between images of microbiologically positive and negative corneal ulcers.
INTRODUCTION: Infectious keratitis (IK) represents the fifth-leading cause of blindness worldwide. A delay in diagnosis is often a major factor in progression to irreversible visual impairment and/or blindness from IK. The diagnostic challenge is fur...
Infectious keratitis (IK) is a major cause of corneal opacity. IK can be caused by a variety of microorganisms. Typically, fungal ulcers carry the worst prognosis. Fungal cases can be subdivided into filamentous and yeasts, which shows fundamental di...
UNLABELLED: is to develop a method for diagnosing fungal keratitis based on the analysis of photographs of the anterior segment of the eye using deep learning algorithms with subsequent evaluation of sensitivity and specificity of the method on a te...
INTRODUCTION: Early eye screening and treatment can reduce the incidence of blindness by detecting and addressing eye diseases at an early stage. The Ophthalmologist Robot is an automated device that can simultaneously capture ocular surface and fund...
Infectious keratitis is among the major causes of global blindness. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) images allow the characterizing of cross-sectional structures in the cornea with keratitis thus revealing the severity of infla...
OBJECTIVE: Keratitis is the primary cause of corneal blindness worldwide. Prompt identification and referral of patients with keratitis are fundamental measures to improve patient prognosis. Although deep learning can assist ophthalmologists in autom...
PURPOSE: To develop three novel Vision Transformer (ViT) frameworks for the specific diagnosis of bacterial and fungal keratitis using different types of anterior segment images and compare their performances.
