PURPOSE: This study aims to develop a deep-learning-based software capable of detecting and differentiating microaneurysms (MAs) as hyporeflective or hyperreflective on structural optical coherence tomography (OCT) images in patients with non-prolife...
In diabetic retinopathy (DR), the early signs that may lead the eyesight towards complete vision loss are considered as microaneurysms (MAs). The shape of these MAs is almost circular, and they have a darkish color and are tiny in size, which means t...

PURPOSE: Heatmapping techniques can support explainability of deep learning (DL) predictions in medical image analysis. However, individual techniques have been mainly applied in a descriptive way without an objective and systematic evaluation. We in...
: To describe the development and validation of an artificial intelligence-based, deep learning algorithm (DeepDR) for the detection of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in retinal fundus photographs. : Five hundred fundus images, which had detailed labellin...
BACKGROUND: As one of the major complications of diabetes, diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of visual impairment and blindness due to delayed diagnosis and intervention. Microaneurysms appear as the earliest symptom of DR. Accurate and re...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness worldwide, and therefore its early detection is important in order to reduce disease-related eye injuries. DR is diagnosed by inspecting fundus images. Since micro...
BACKGROUND: Convolution neural networks have been considered for automatic analysis of fundus images to detect signs of diabetic retinopathy but suffer from low sensitivity.
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an eye abnormality caused by long-term diabetes and it is the most common cause of blindness before the age of 50. Microaneurysms (MAs), resulting from leakage from retinal blood vessels, are early indicators of DR. In th...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the leading causes of preventable blindness in the world. Its earliest sign are red lesions, a general term that groups both microaneurysms (MAs) and hemorrhages (HEs). In daily clinical ...
