Medical image segmentation commonly involves diverse tissue types and structures, including tasks such as blood vessel segmentation and nerve fiber bundle segmentation. Enhancing the continuity of segmentation outcomes represents a pivotal challenge ...
The precise segmentation of retinal vasculature is crucial for the early screening of various eye diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy and hypertensive retinopathy. Given the complex and variable overall structure of retinal vessels and their delic...
BACKGROUND: To apply machine learning (ML) algorithms to perform multiclass diabetic retinopathy (DR) classification using both clinical data and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
PURPOSE: To evaluate whether providing clinicians with an artificial intelligence (AI)-based vascular severity score (VSS) improves consistency in the diagnosis of plus disease in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
Accurate segmentation of retinal vessels in fundus images is of great importance for the diagnosis of numerous ocular diseases. However, due to the complex characteristics of fundus images, such as various lesions, image noise and complex background,...
Hyperlipidemia has many ocular manifestations, the most prevalent being retinal vascular occlusion. Hyperlipidemic lesions and occlusions to the vessels supplying the retina result in permanent blindness, necessitating prompt detection and treatment....

Blood vessel segmentation is a crucial stage in extracting morphological characteristics of vessels for the clinical diagnosis of fundus and coronary artery disease. However, traditional convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are confined to learning l...
This study aims to automate the segmentation of retinal arterioles and venules (A/V) from digital fundus images (DFI), as changes in the spatial distribution of retinal microvasculature are indicative of cardiovascular diseases, positioning the eyes ...
Retinal vessel segmentation based on deep learning is an important auxiliary method for assisting clinical doctors in diagnosing retinal diseases. However, existing methods often produce mis-segmentation when dealing with low contrast images and thin...
