Endothelial dysfunction in a child with Pearson marrow-pancreas syndrome managed with Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty using a suture pull-through techniqu [PDF]
, 2019 A 4-year-old girl with a history of Pearson marrow-pancreas syndrome presenting with severe, progressive photophobia was found to have bilateral, diffuse corneal thickening and peripheral pigmentary retinopathy. She underwent Descemet stripping automated

Corneal thickness and elevation maps computed from optical rotary scans [PDF]
J. Refract. Surg., 20, pp. S576-S580, (2004), 2004 Purpose: Recently the authors presented a technique that allows corneal thickness measurements along any meridian from optical sections obtained using a rotary scanning system. This paper presents 3-D mapping of the corneal thickness and topography of both corneal surfaces, obtained with the rotary system.

Exposing GAN-generated Faces Using Inconsistent Corneal Specular Highlights [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Sophisticated generative adversary network (GAN) models are now able to synthesize highly realistic human faces that are difficult to discern from real ones visually. In this work, we show that GAN synthesized faces can be exposed with the inconsistent corneal specular highlights between two eyes.

MEDIMP: 3D Medical Images with clinical Prompts from limited tabular data for renal transplantation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Renal transplantation emerges as the most effective solution for end-stage renal disease. Occurring from complex causes, a substantial risk of transplant chronic dysfunction persists and may lead to graft loss. Medical imaging plays a substantial role in renal transplant monitoring in clinical practice. However, graft supervision is multi-disciplinary,
