Diabetic Mellitus is a disease which can affect the functioning of different organs in the body such as heart, kidney, retina etc. When this disease affects the eye it leads to a condition called Diabetic Retinopathy and this disease in turn may lead to a disease called Diabetic Macular Edema (DME). If DME is left untreated it may lead to vision loss. In this work, a method of automated detecti...

diabetic macular edema (dme) is an advanced symptom diabetic retinopathy. it causes damage to retina and may lead to complete or partial vision loss. exudates are the primary indication of diabetic retinopathy. in this paper, different techniques were presented which is used for detecting the hard exudates. the segmentation of hard exudates is also

Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the most common cause of vision loss in diabetic patients. Thirty years ago, the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) demonstrated that focal/grid laser photocoagulation reduces moderate vision loss from DME by 50% or more; thus, macular photocoagulation became the gold standard treatment for DME. However, with the development of anti-VEGF drugs (be...
