A U-Net-based network has achieved competitive performance in retinal vessel segmentation. Previous work has focused on using multilevel high-level features to improve segmentation accuracy but has ignored the importance of shallow-level features. In...
Convolutional neural networks (CNN), especially numerous U-shaped models, have achieved great progress in retinal vessel segmentation. However, a great quantity of global information in fundus images has not been fully explored. And the class imbalan...
PURPOSE: We applied deep learning-based noise reduction (NR) to optical coherence tomography-angiography (OCTA) images of the radial peripapillary capillaries (RPCs) in eyes with glaucoma and investigated the usefulness of this method as an objective...
Extracting features of retinal vessels from fundus images plays an essential role in computer-aided diagnosis of diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, and cerebrovascular diseases. Although a number of deep learning-based methods have been used i...
Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is an emerging non-invasive technique for imaging the retinal vasculature. While there are many promising clinical applications for OCTA, determination of image quality remains a challenge. We developed...

OBJECTIVE: As an extension of optical coherence tomography (OCT), optical coherence tomographic angiography (OCTA) provides information on the blood flow status at the microlevel and is sensitive to changes in the fundus vessels. However, due to the ...
Retinal vessel segmentation with deep learning technology is a crucial auxiliary method for clinicians to diagnose fundus diseases. However, the deep learning approaches inevitably lose the edge information, which contains spatial features of vessels...
Registration is useful for image processing in computer vision. It can be applied to retinal images and provide support for ophthalmologists in tracking disease progression and monitoring therapeutic responses. This study proposed a robust detection ...
