Multiloss Function Based Deep Convolutional Neural Network for Segmentation of Retinal Vasculature into Arterioles and Venules.

BioMed research international
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...

Generating retinal flow maps from structural optical coherence tomography with artificial intelligence.

Scientific reports
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...

International journal of medical informatics
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...

CE-Net: Context Encoder Network for 2D Medical Image Segmentation.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
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, ...

Retinal blood vessel extraction employing effective image features and combination of supervised and unsupervised machine learning methods.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
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...

A novel retinal vessel detection approach based on multiple deep convolution neural networks.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Computer aided detection (CAD) offers an efficient way to assist doctors to interpret fundus images. In a CAD system, retinal vessel (RV) detection is a crucial step to identify the retinal disease regions. However, RV detec...

A Three-Stage Deep Learning Model for Accurate Retinal Vessel Segmentation.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
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...

Synthesizing retinal and neuronal images with generative adversarial nets.

Medical image analysis
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...

Retinal blood vessel segmentation using fully convolutional network with transfer learning.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Since the retinal blood vessel has been acknowledged as an indispensable element in both ophthalmological and cardiovascular disease diagnosis, the accurate segmentation of the retinal vessel tree has become the prerequisite step for automated or com...

Joint Segment-Level and Pixel-Wise Losses for Deep Learning Based Retinal Vessel Segmentation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Deep learning based methods for retinal vessel segmentation are usually trained based on pixel-wise losses, which treat all vessel pixels with equal importance in pixel-to-pixel matching between a predicted probability map and the correspo...
