A Thickness Sensitive Vessel Extraction Framework for Retinal and Conjunctival Vascular Tortuosity Analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Systemic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis are among the leading causes of annual human mortality rate. It is suggested that retinal and conjunctival vascular tortuosity is a potential biomarker for such systemic diseases. Most importantly, it is observed that the tortuosity depends on the thickness of these vessels.

VAFO-Loss: VAscular Feature Optimised Loss Function for Retinal Artery/Vein Segmentation [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Estimating clinically-relevant vascular features following vessel segmentation is a standard pipeline for retinal vessel analysis, which provides potential ocular biomarkers for both ophthalmic disease and systemic disease. In this work, we integrate these clinical features into a novel vascular feature optimised loss function (VAFO-Loss), in order to ...

Device for ECG prediction based on retinal vasculature analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Pulsatile changes in retinal vascular geometry over the cardiac cycle have clinical implications for the diagnosis of ocular and systemic vascular diseases, including ischemia, coronary heart diseases, and diabetes mellitus and its complications. Thus, analysis of the pulsatile changes over the cardiac cycle is a potential non-invasive assessment for ...
