Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the prominent cause of blindness in the world. The early treatment of DR can be conducted from detection of microaneurysms (MAs) which is reddish spots in retinal images. An automated microaneurysm detection can be a helpful system for ophthalmologists for detecting of MA. In this paper, deep learning, in particular convolutional neural network (CNN), is used as a p...

Retinal image analysis is an essential step in the diagnosis of various eye diseases. Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is globally the primary cause of visual impairment and blindness in diabetic patients. Early diagnosis through regular screening and timely treatment has proven beneficial in preventing visual impairment and blindness. In this paper we have proposed a novel approach to automatically d...

Recently, microaneurysm (MA) detection has attracted a lot of attention in the medical image processing community. Since MAs can be seen as the earliest lesions in diabetic retinopathy, their detection plays a critical role in diabetic retinopathy diagnosis. In this paper, we propose a novel MA detection approach named multifeature fusion dictionary learning (MFFDL). The proposed method consist...

PURPOSE To compare the effects of sub-Tenon's capsule triamcinolone acetonide (STTA) injection to that of STTA injection combined with microaneurysm photocoagulation (MAPC; STTA + MAPC) on eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME). PATIENTS AND METHODS The medical records of 138 eyes of 138 patients with DME treated by either STTA or STTA + MAPC were reviewed. The degree of DME was determined by...

Microaneurysms detection is an important task in computer aided diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy. Microaneurysms are the first clinical sign of diabetic retinopathy, a major cause of vision loss in diabetic patients. Early microaneurysm detection can help reduce the incidence of blindness. Automatic detection of microaneurysms is still an open problem due to their tiny sizes, low contrast and ...

The number of diabetic patients are increasing nowadays. So the chance for diabetic retinopathic (DR) diseases are also increasing. From the different diabetic retinopathic diseases, microaneurysms (MAs) are the first detectable symptom of DR. This paper makes an attempt to MA detection using blood vessel segmentation and profile analysis. After the removal of connected blood vessels, the remai...
