BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Automatic retinal vessel segmentation (RVS) in fundus images is expected to be a vital step in the early image diagnosis of ophthalmologic diseases. However, it is a challenging task to detect the retinal vessel accurately ...
Cupping of the optic nerve head, a highly heritable trait, is a hallmark of glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Two key parameters are vertical cup-to-disc ratio (VCDR) and vertical disc diameter (VDD). However, manual assessment often suffers from poor a...
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) require accurate cohort phenotyping, but expert labeling can be costly, time intensive, and variable. Here, we develop a machine learning (ML) model to predict glaucomatous optic nerve head features from color ...

Myopia detection is significant for preventing irreversible visual impairment and diagnosing myopic retinopathy. To improve the detection efficiency and accuracy, a Myopia Detection Network (MDNet) that combines the advantages of dense connection and...
Qualitative analysis of fundus photographs enables straightforward pattern recognition of advanced pathologic myopia. However, it has limitations in defining the classification of the degree or extent of early disease, such that it may be biased by s...

A common shortfall of supervised deep learning for medical imaging is the lack of labeled data, which is often expensive and time consuming to collect. This article presents a new semisupervised method for medical image segmentation, where the networ...
BACKGROUND: Glaucoma is an eye disease that causes vision loss and even blindness. The cup to disc ratio (CDR) is an important indicator for glaucoma screening and diagnosis. Accurate segmentation for the optic disc and cup helps obtain CDR. Although...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Pathological myopia (PM) is the seventh leading cause of blindness, with a reported global prevalence up to 3%. Early and automated PM detection from fundus images could aid to prevent blindness in a world population that i...
