Opto-UNet: Optimized UNet for Segmentation of Varicose Veins in Optical Coherence Tomography [PDF]
Human veins are important for carrying the blood from the body-parts to the heart. The improper functioning of the human veins may arise from several venous diseases. Varicose vein is one such disease wherein back flow of blood can occur, often resulting in increased venous pressure or restricted blood flow due to changes in the structure of vein.

Risk factors for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism: a population-based case-control study.
BACKGROUND Reported risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) vary widely, and the magnitude and independence of each are uncertain. OBJECTIVES To identify independent risk factors for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism and to estimate the

To be or not to be: postcubital vein in insects revealed by microtomography
To better understand insect evolution, fossils – mainly known by their wings – must be used as terminals in phylogenetic analyses. Such analyses are, however, rarely performed because of a lack of consensus on the homology of venation in insects ...

3D printed realistic finger vein phantoms [PDF]
Finger vein pattern recognition is an emerging biometric with a good resistance to presentation attacks and low error rates. One problem is that it is hard to obtain ground truth finger vein patterns from live fingers. In this paper we propose an advanced method to create finger vein phantoms using 3D printing where we mimic the optical properties of ...

Deep Learning for Finger Vein Recognition: A Brief Survey of Recent Trend [PDF]
Finger vein image recognition technology plays an important role in biometric recognition and has been successfully applied in many fields. Because veins are buried beneath the skin tissue, finger vein image recognition has an unparalleled advantage, which is not easily disturbed by external factors. This review summarizes 46 papers about deep learning

Depth-resolved vascular profile features for artery-vein classification in OCT and OCT angiography of human retina [PDF]
This study is to characterize reflectance profiles of retinal blood vessels in optical coherence tomography (OCT), and to validate these vascular features to guide artery-vein classification in OCT angiography (OCTA) of human retina. Depth-resolved OCT reveals unique features of retinal arteries and veins.
