Foundation models are large-scale versatile systems trained on vast quantities of diverse data to learn generalizable representations. Their adaptability with minimal fine-tuning makes them particularly promising for medical imaging, where data variability and domain shifts are major challenges. Currently, two types of foundation models dominate the literature: self-supervised models and more recent vision-language models. In this study, we advance the application of vision-language foundation (VLF) models for ocular disease screening using the OPHDIAT dataset, which includes nearly 700,000 fundus photographs from a French diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening network. This dataset provides extensive clinical data (patient-specific information such as diabetic health conditions, and treatments), labeled diagnostics, ophthalmologists text-based findings, and multiple retinal images for each examination. Building on the FLAIR model $\unicode{x2013}$ a VLF model for retinal pathology classification $\unicode{x2013}$ we propose novel context-aware VLF models (e.g jointly analyzing multiple images from the same visit or taking advantage of past diagnoses and contextual data) to fully leverage the richness of the OPHDIAT dataset and enhance robustness to domain shifts. Our approaches were evaluated on both in-domain (a testing subset of OPHDIAT) and out-of-domain data (public datasets) to assess their generalization performance. Our model demonstrated improved in-domain performance for DR grading, achieving an area under the curve (AUC) ranging from 0.851 to 0.9999, and generalized well to ocular disease detection on out-of-domain data (AUC: 0.631-0.913).
Glaucoma is a serious ocular disorder for which the screening and diagnosis are carried out by the examination of the optic nerve head (ONH). The color fundus image (CFI) is the most common modality used for ocular screening. In CFI, the central r
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 the presence of ocular and systemic vascular diseases. The cardiac rhythm influences these pulsatile changes in the retina, is a result of the change in blood volumetric flow entering the ophthalmic-vascular system under a certain level of intraoc…

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the result of a complication of diabetes affecting the retina. It can cause blindness, if left undiagnosed and untreated. An ophthalmologist performs the diagnosis by screening each patient and analyzing the retinal lesions via ocular imaging. In practice, such analysis is time-consuming and cumbersome to perform. This paper presents a model for automatic DR classification on eye fundus images. The approach identifies the main ocular lesions related to DR and subsequently diagnoses the illness. The proposed method follows the same workflow as the clinicians, provid…
Sport-related concussion (SRC) depends on sensory information from visual, vestibular, and somatosensory systems. At the same time, the current clinical administration of Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS) is subjective and deviates among administrators. Therefore, for the assessment and management of concussion detection, standardization is required to lower the risk of injury and increase the validation among clinicians. With the advancement of technology, virtual reality (VR) can be utilized to advance the standardization of the VOMS, increasing the accuracy of testing administration …

Retinal images have been widely used by clinicians for early diagnosis of ocular diseases. However, the quality of retinal images is often clinically unsatisfactory due to eye lesions and imperfect imaging process. One of the most challenging quality degradation issues in retinal images is non-uniform which hinders the pathological information and further impairs the diagnosis of ophthalmologists and computer-aided analysis.To address this issue, we propose a non-uniform illumination removal network for retinal image, called NuI-Go, which consists of three Recursive Non-local Encoder-Decoder R…

Noisy data and the similarity in the ocular appearances caused by different ophthalmic pathologies pose significant challenges for an automated expert system to accurately detect retinal diseases. In addition, the lack of knowledge transferability and the need for unreasonably large datasets limit clinical application of current machine learning systems. To increase robustness, a better understanding of how the retinal subspace deformations lead to various levels of disease severity needs to be utilized for prioritizing disease-specific model details. In this paper we propose the use of diseas…

Real-world non-mydriatic retinal fundus photography is prone to artifacts, imperfections and low-quality when certain ocular or systemic co-morbidities exist. Artifacts may result in inaccuracy or ambiguity in clinical diagnoses. In this paper, we proposed a simple but effective end-to-end framework for enhancing poor-quality retinal fundus images. Leveraging the optimal transport theory, we proposed an unpaired image-to-image translation scheme for transporting low-quality images to their high-quality counterparts. We theoretically proved that a Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) model wit…

In ophthalmology, the study of the retinal microcirculation is a key issue in the analysis of many ocular and systemic diseases, like hypertension or diabetes. This motivates the research on improving the retinal vasculature segmentation. Nowadays, Fully Convolutional Neural Networks (FCNs) usually represent the most successful approach to image segmentation. However, the success of these models is conditioned by an adequate selection and adaptation of the architectures and techniques used, as well as the availability of a large amount of annotated data. These two issues become specially relev…

This research aims to develop an efficient system for screening of diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy is the major cause of blindness. Severity of diabetic retinopathy is recognized by some features, such as blood vessel area, exudates, haemorrhages and microaneurysms. To grade the disease the screening system must efficiently detect these features. In this paper we are proposing a simple and fast method for detection of diabetic retinopathy. We do pre-processing of grey-scale image and find all labelled connected components (blobs) in an image regardless of whether it is haemorrhages,…
Artificial intelligence (AI) classification holds promise as a novel and affordable screening tool for clinical management of ocular diseases. Rural and underserved areas, which suffer from lack of access to experienced ophthalmologists may particularly benefit from this technology. Quantitative optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) imaging provides excellent capability to identify subtle vascular distortions, which are useful for classifying retinovascular diseases. However, application of AI for differentiation and classification of multiple eye diseases is not yet established. In …

With the development of convolutional neural network, deep learning has shown its success for retinal disease detection from optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. However, deep learning often relies on large scale labelled data for training, which is oftentimes challenging especially for disease with low occurrence. Moreover, a deep learning system trained from data-set with one or a few diseases is unable to detect other unseen diseases, which limits the practical usage of the system in disease screening. To address the limitation, we propose a novel anomaly detection framework termed Sp…

Retinal fundus images are widely used for the clinical screening and diagnosis of eye diseases. However, fundus images captured by operators with various levels of experience have a large variation in quality. Low-quality fundus images increase uncertainty in clinical observation and lead to the risk of misdiagnosis. However, due to the special optical beam of fundus imaging and structure of the retina, natural image enhancement methods cannot be utilized directly to address this. In this paper, we first analyze the ophthalmoscope imaging system and simulate a reliable degradation of major inf…

Clinical screening with low-quality fundus images is challenging and significantly leads to misdiagnosis. This paper addresses the issue of improving the retinal image quality and vessel segmentation through retinal image restoration. More specifically, a cycle-consistent generative adversarial network (CycleGAN) with a convolution block attention module (CBAM) is used for retinal image restoration. A modified UNet is used for retinal vessel segmentation for the restored retinal images (CBAM-UNet). The proposed model consists of two generators and two discriminators. Generators translate image…
Fundus photography (FP) remains the primary imaging modality in screening various retinal diseases including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. FP allows the clinician to examine the ocular fundus structures such as the macula, the optic disc (OD) and retinal vessels, whose visibility and clarity in an FP image remain central to ensuring diagnostic accuracy, and hence determine the diagnostic quality (DQ). Images with low DQ, resulting from eye movement, improper illumination and other possible causes, should obviously be recaptured. However, the technician, o…
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) scanning is useful in detecting various retinal diseases. However, there are not enough ophthalmologists who can diagnose retinal OCT images in much of the world. To provide OCT screening inexpensively and extensively, an automated diagnosis system is indispensable. Although many machine learning techniques have been presented for assisting ophthalmologists in diagnosing retinal OCT images, there is no technique that can diagnose independently without relying on an ophthalmologist, i.e., there is no technique that does not overlook any anomaly, including unle…

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) can lead to significant microvasculature disruptions that eventually causes diabetic retinopathy (DR), or complications in the eye due to diabetes. If left unchecked, this disease can increase over time and eventually cause complete vision loss. The general method to detect such optical developments is through examining the vessels, optic nerve head, microaneurysms, haemorrhage, exudates, etc. from retinal images. Ultimately this is limited by the number of experienced ophthalmologists and the vastly growing number of DM cases. To enable earlier and efficient DR diagnosi…

The study of the retinal vasculature is a fundamental stage in the screening and diagnosis of many diseases. A complete retinal vascular analysis requires to segment and classify the blood vessels of the retina into arteries and veins (A/V). Early automatic methods approached these segmentation and classification tasks in two sequential stages. However, currently, these tasks are approached as a joint semantic segmentation task, as the classification results highly depend on the effectiveness of the vessel segmentation. In that regard, we propose a novel approach for the simultaneous segmentat…

Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the predominant cause of blindness in developed countries, specially in elderly people. Moreover, its prevalence is increasing due to the global population ageing. In this scenario, early detection is crucial to avert later vision impairment. Nonetheless, implementing large-scale screening programmes is usually not viable, since the population at-risk is large and the analysis must be performed by expert clinicians. Also, the diagnosis of AMD is considered to be particularly difficult, as it is characterized by many different lesions that, in many case…
