Structured Light Projection Using Image Guide Fibers for In Situ Photo‐biofabrication
Light‐based biofabrication is typically performed with single wavelength light sources and within benchtop devices. This work demonstrates FaSt‐Light (Fiber‐assisted Structured Light) as a new approach to achieve multiwavelength image projection using flexible image guide fibers, which enables a variety of applications for in situ biofabrication ...

Predicting Progression of Age-related Macular Degeneration from Fundus Images using Deep Learning [PDF]
Background: Patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can avoid vision loss via certain therapy. However, methods to predict the progression to neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nvAMD) are lacking. Purpose: To develop and validate a deep learning (DL) algorithm to predict 1-year progression of eyes with no, early, or ...

KFWC: A Knowledge-Driven Deep Learning Model for Fine-grained Classification of Wet-AMD [PDF]
Automated diagnosis using deep neural networks can help ophthalmologists detect the blinding eye disease wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Wet-AMD has two similar subtypes, Neovascular AMD and Polypoidal Choroidal Vessels (PCV). However, due to the difficulty in data collection and the similarity between images, most studies have only ...
