Decision Support System for Age-Related Macular Degeneration Using Convolutional Neural Networks
Introduction: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the major causes of visual loss among the elderly. It causes degeneration of cells in the macula. Early diagnosis can be helpful in preventing blindness. Drusen are the initial symptoms of AMD. Since drusen have a wide variety, locating them in screening images is difficult and time-consuming. An automated digital fundus photography...
متن کاملNonlinear enhancement and segmentation algorithm for the detection of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in human eye's retina
Assessment of the risk for the development of Age related Macular Degeneration requires reliable detection of retinal abnormalities that are considered as precursors of the disease. A typical sign for the later are the so-called drusen, which appear as abnormal white-yellow deposits on the retina. This paper presents a novel segmentation algorithm for automatic detection of abnormalities in ima...

Background & Aims: Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is one of the common retina disorders that can lead to loss of vision by increase in age. In this study, the efficacy of a non-invasive ultrasound technique for the evaluation of alastic properties of eye in the diagnosis of ARMD has been evaluated. Methods: For estimation of the elastic modulus of eye, spatial loading system designed a...
متن کاملAutomatic Detection of Age-related Macular Degeneration from Retinal Images
Macular degeneration is one of the most common retinal diseases in India. Usually it is observed in people over 60s and is therefore called age related macular degeneration, ARMD or AMD. The macula is responsible for the sharp central vision needed for detailed activities such as reading, writing, driving, face recognition and ability to see colours. Age related macula degeneration is degenerat...

Introduction & Objective: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disease affecting the central regions of the retina and choroid, which can lead to loss of central vision. Etiological research suggests that AMD is a complex disease, caused by the actions and interactions of multiple genes and environmental factors. Numerous studies have focused on the role of chemotactic cytokines, also kn...
