AI models achieve high accuracy in retinal disease classification and vessel segmentation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel two-pipeline framework for analyzing retinal fundus images, combining disease classification with blood vessel segmentation. The framework fine-tuned eight ImageNet-pretrained CNNs for classification, with ResNet101 achieving the highest accuracy at 94.17%. For segmentation, various U-Net variants were benchmarked, with Attention U-Net utilizing a ResNet101V2 backbone demonstrating superior performance, significantly improving IoU scores on the DRIVE dataset. AI

IMPACT Advances AI capabilities in medical imaging analysis, potentially improving early detection of eye diseases.

    Explainable Convolutional Neural Networks for Retinal Fundus Classification and Cutting-Edge Segmentation Models for Retinal Blood Vessels from Fundus Images

    arXiv:2405.07338v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Early detection of vision-threatening conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration depends on retinal fundus image analysis, but manual assessment is slow and expert-dependent. Au…
