Artificial intelligence for ophthalmic vessel segmentation: from multimodal imaging to clinical translation

Artificial intelligence (AI)-based vessel segmentation converts color fundus photographs, scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO), optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), structural OCT, and anterior-segment images into quantitative vascular biomarkers. Strong performance within individual datasets has not consist...

An Enhanced Multi-View Deep-Broad Learning Framework for Reliable Retinal Disease Classification

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides cross-sectional views of retinal structures and is widely used to assess conditions that affect the macula. Automated analysis may help clinicians review large volumes of images, but a model’s performance can be affected by image quality, differences between datasets, class i...

A GLOBAL-LOCAL FEATURE LEARNING FOR RETINAL VESSEL SEsGMENTATION USING AN IMPROVED U-NET

The diagnosis of ophthalmic diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, hypertension, and cardiovascular disorders can be recognized through retinal vessel segmentation from fundus images. The low contrast, noise, blurred boundaries, and substantial variations in vessel thickness make the vessel segmentation a cha...
