In this paper, we propose a lightweight Position Channel Transformer Network (PCT-Net) for segmenting slender neural fibers in low-quality corneal confocal microscopy images with speckle noise and uneven lighting. Three modules including the channel ...
BACKGROUND: Accurate fiber orientation distribution (FOD) is crucial for resolving complex neural fiber structures. However, existing reconstruction methods often fail to integrate both global and local FOD information, as well as the directional inf...
PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare subbasal corneal nerve parameters of the inferior whorl in patients with dry eye disease (DED), neuropathic corneal pain (NCP), and controls using a novel deep-learning-based algorithm to analyze in-vivo confocal micr...
BACKGROUND/AIMS: To assess the performance of deep-learning (DL) models for prediction of conversion to normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) in normotensive glaucoma suspect (GS) patients.
PURPOSE: To develop deep learning (DL) algorithm to detect glaucoma progression using optical coherence tomography (OCT) images, in the absence of a reference standard.
PURPOSE: Identifying glaucoma patients at high risk of progression based on widely available structural data is an unmet task in clinical practice. We test the hypothesis that baseline or serial structural measures can predict visual field (VF) progr...
Excitotoxicity from the impairment of glutamate uptake constitutes an important mechanism in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease. Within the eye, excitotoxicity is thought to play a critical rol...
The aim of this study was to predict three visual filed (VF) global indexes, mean deviation (MD), pattern standard deviation (PSD), and visual field index (VFI), from optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters including Bruch's Membrane Opening-Mi...
The peripheral nerves (PNs) innervate the dermis and epidermis, and are suggested to play an important role in wound healing. Several methods to quantify skin innervation during wound healing have been reported. Those usually require multiple observe...

BACKGROUND: The use of artificial intelligence is becoming more prevalence in medicine with numerous successful examples in ophthalmology. However, much of the work has been focused on replicating the works of ophthalmologists. Given the analytical p...
