Pathological myopia is a severe eye condition that can cause serious complications like retinal detachment and macular degeneration, posing a threat to vision. Optic disc segmentation helps measure changes in the optic disc and observe the surroundin...
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to introduce SLOctolyzer: an open-source analysis toolkit for en face retinal vessels in infrared reflectance scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) images.
PURPOSE: Optical coherence tomography (OCT)-derived measurements of the optic nerve head (ONH) from different devices are not interchangeable. This poses challenges to patient follow-up and collaborative studies. Here, we present a device-agnostic me...
This paper systematically evaluates saliency methods as explainability tools for convolutional neural networks trained to diagnose glaucoma using simplified eye fundus images that contain only disc and cup outlines. These simplified images, a methodo...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the refractive differences among school-aged children with macular or peripapillary fundus tessellation (FT) distribution patterns, using fundus tessellation density (FTD) quantified by deep learning (DL) technology.
Glaucoma, an optic nerve disease resulting in blindness if left untreated, is a difficult condition in healthcare in view of its diagnostic difficulties. Past approaches are based on assessment of the fundus images and the size of the cup and the dis...
Glaucoma detection from fundus images often relies on biomarkers such as the Cup-to-Disc Ratio (CDR) and Rim-to-Disc Ratio (RDR). However, precise segmentation of the optic cup and disc is challenging due to low-contrast boundaries and the interferen...
. This study is focused on creating an effective glaucoma detection system employing a Hybrid Centric Convolutional Neural Network (HCCNN) model. By using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), classification accuracy is increased and computing complexit...
Vasculature morphology and hierarchy are essential for blood perfusion. Human retinal circulation is an intricate vascular system emerging and remerging at the optic nerve head (ONH). Tracing retinal vascular branching from ONH can allow detailed mor...
