The arterioles and venules (AV) classification of retinal vasculature is considered as the first step in the development of an automated system for analysing the vasculature biomarker association with disease prognosis. Most of the existing AV classi...
Despite advances in artificial intelligence (AI), its application in medical imaging has been burdened and limited by expert-generated labels. We used images from optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), a relatively new imaging modality that...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The condition of vessel of the human eye is an important factor for the diagnosis of ophthalmological diseases. Vessel segmentation in fundus images is a challenging task due to complex vessel structure, the presence of simi...
Medical image segmentation is an important step in medical image analysis. With the rapid development of a convolutional neural network in image processing, deep learning has been used for medical image segmentation, such as optic disc segmentation, ...
In medicine, retinal vessel analysis of fundus images is a prominent task for the screening and diagnosis of various ophthalmological and cardiovascular diseases. In this research, a method is proposed for extracting the retinal blood vessels employi...

Automatic retinal vessel segmentation is a fundamental step in the diagnosis of eye-related diseases, in which both thick vessels and thin vessels are important features for symptom detection. All existing deep learning models attempt to segment both...
This paper aims at synthesizing multiple realistic-looking retinal (or neuronal) images from an unseen tubular structured annotation that contains the binary vessel (or neuronal) morphology. The generated phantoms are expected to preserve the same tu...
