Retinal vascular tortuosity is an excessive bending and twisting of the blood vessels in the retina that is associated with numerous health conditions. We propose a novel methodology for the automated assessment of the retinal vascular tortuosity fro...
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Retinal capillary non-perfusion (NP) and neovascularisation (NV) are two of the most important angiographic changes in diabetic retinopathy (DR). This study investigated the feasibility of using deep learning (DL) models to automatic...
PURPOSE: The optic disc and the macular are two major anatomical structures in the human eye. Optic discs are associated with the optic nerve. Macular mainly involves degeneration and impaired function of the macular region. Reliable optic disc and m...
Automatic subcutaneous vessel imaging with near-infrared (NIR) optical apparatus can promote the accuracy of locating blood vessels, thus significantly contributing to clinical venipuncture research. Though deep learning models have achieved remarkab...
Retinal vessel segmentation is an important task in medical image analysis and has a variety of applications in the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases. In this paper, we propose SegR-Net, a deep learning framework for robust retinal vessel s...

Timely and affordable computer-aided diagnosis of retinal diseases is pivotal in precluding blindness. Accurate retinal vessel segmentation plays an important role in disease progression and diagnosis of such vision-threatening diseases. To this end,...
PURPOSE: To compare the Retina-based Microvascular Health Assessment System (RMHAS) with Integrative Vessel Analysis (IVAN) for retinal vessel caliber measurement.
Medical image segmentation enables doctors to observe lesion regions better and make accurate diagnostic decisions. Single-branch models such as U-Net have achieved great progress in this field. However, the complementary local and global pathologica...
Segmentation of retinal fundus images is a crucial part of medical diagnosis. Automatic extraction of blood vessels in low-quality retinal images remains a challenging problem. In this paper, we propose a novel two-stage model combining Transformer U...
