Disease classification and lesion segmentation of retinal optical coherence tomography images play important roles in ophthalmic computer-aided diagnosis. However, existing methods achieve the two tasks separately, which is insufficient for clinical ...

BACKGROUND: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is considered as a sensitive and noninvasive tool to evaluate the macular lesions. In patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), the existence of diabetic macular edema (DME) can cause significant vision impa...
IMPORTANCE: Large amounts of optical coherence tomographic (OCT) data of diabetic macular edema (DME) are acquired, but many morphologic features have yet to be identified and quantified.
OBJECTIVE: Automatic diabetic retinopathy screening system based on neural networks has been used to detect diabetic retinopathy (DR). However, there is no quantitative synthesis of performance of these methods. We aimed to estimate the sensitivity a...
PURPOSE: In diabetic patients presenting with macular edema (ME) shortly after cataract surgery, identifying the underlying pathology can be challenging and influence management. Our aim was to develop a simple clinical classifier able to confirm a d...

Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) is a severe eye disease that can lead to irreversible blindness if it is left untreated. DME diagnosis still relies on manual evaluation from opthalmologists, thus the process is time consuming and diagnosis may be subjec...

BACKGROUND: Diabetic macular edema (DME) is one of the severe complication of diabetic retinopathy causing severe vision loss and leads to blindness in severe cases if left untreated.
IMPORTANCE: Deep learning is a family of computational methods that allow an algorithm to program itself by learning from a large set of examples that demonstrate the desired behavior, removing the need to specify rules explicitly. Application of the...
