• Abstract summary: Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a chronic and progressive optic nerve condition that results in an acquired loss of optic nerve fibers and potential blindness. To diagnose POAG and determine its severity, patients must undergo a comprehensive dilated eye examination. We build a framework to rank, compare, and interpret the severity of glaucoma using fundus images.

• Abstract: Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a chronic and progressive optic nerve condition that results in an acquired loss of optic nerve fibers and potential blindness. The gradual onset of glaucoma results in patients progressively losing their vision without being consciously aware of the changes. To diagnose POAG and determine its severity, patients must undergo a comprehensive dilated eye examination. In this work, we build a framework to rank, compare, and interpret the severity of glaucoma using fundus images. We introduce a siamese-based severity ranking using pairwise n-hidden comparisons. We additionally have a novel approach to explaining why a specific image is deemed more severe than others. Our findings indicate that the proposed severity ranking model surpasses traditional ones in terms of diagnostic accuracy and delivers improved saliency explanations.

  Our proposed Longitudinal Transformer for Survival Analysis (LTSA) enables dynamic disease prognosis from longitudinal medical imaging. A temporal attention analysis also suggested that, while the most recent image is typically the most influential, prior imaging still provides additional prognostic value.

  The optic nerve head (ONH) undergoes complex and deep 3D morphological changes during the development and progression of glaucoma. We used PointNet and dynamic graph convolutional neural network (DGCNN) to diagnose glaucoma from 3D ONH point clouds. Our approach may have strong potential to be used in clinical applications for the diagnosis and prognosis of a wide range of ophthalmic disorders.

  We set up the Glaucoma grAding from Multi-Modality imAges (GAMMA) Challenge to encourage the development of fundus & OCT-based glaucoma grading. The primary task of the challenge is to grade glaucoma from both the 2D fundus images and 3D OCT scanning volumes. We have publicly released a glaucoma annotated dataset with both 2D fundus color photography and 3D OCT volumes, which is the first multi-modality dataset for glaucoma grading.

  We propose an efficient multi-modality supervised contrastive learning framework, named COROLLA, for glaucoma grading. We employ supervised contrastive learning to increase our models' discriminative power with better convergence. On the GAMMA dataset, our COROLLA framework achieves overwhelming glaucoma grading performance compared to state-of-the-art methods.

  glaucoma is challenging to detect since it remains asymptomatic until the symptoms are severe. Early identification of glaucoma is generally made based on functional, structural, and clinical assessments. Deep learning methods have partially solved this dilemma by bypassing the marker identification stage and analyzing high-level information directly to classify the data.

• Two Eyes Are Better Than One: Exploiting Binocular Correlation for Diabetic Retinopathy Severity Grading [9.25565724620311]
  Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common eye conditions among diabetic patients. vision loss occurs primarily in the late stages of DR, and the symptoms of visual impairment, ranging from mild to severe, can vary greatly. Deep learning methods based on retinal images have achieved remarkable success in automatic DR grading. We propose a two-stream binocular network to capture the subtle correlations between left and right eyes, in which, paired images of eyes are fed into two identical works separately during training.

  Low-quality fundus images increase uncertainty in clinical observation and lead to the risk of misdiagnosis. We propose a clinically oriented fundus enhancement network (cofe-Net) to suppress global degradation factors. Experiments on both synthetic and real images demonstrate that our algorithm effectively corrects low-quality fundus images without losing retinal details.
