Abstract

It is often said that "the eyes are the windows to the soul". Although this usually metaphorically refers to a person's emotional state, there is literal truth in this statement with reference to a person's biological state. The eyes are dynamic and sensitive organs that are connected to the rest of the body via the circulatory and nervous systems. This means that diseases originating from an organ within the body can indirectly affect the eyes. Although the eyes may not be the origin for many such diseases, they are visible to external observers, making them an accessible point of diagnosis. For instance, broken blood vessels in the sclera could indicate a blood clotting disorder or a vitamin K deficiency. Instead of "windows to the soul", the eyes are "sensors to the body" that can be monitored to screen for certain diseases.

Retinal Vessel Segmentation of Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is a disease in diabetic patients that affects the eye. It happens due to damage in the blood vessels of the light-sensitive tissues at the retina. In non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, tiny changes occur in the blood vessels ...
Development of an integrated hardware and software platform for the rapid detection of cerebral aneurysm rupture

A cerebral aneurysm is defined as a weakened portion of an artery in the brain. Rupture of a cerebral aneurysm leads to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). A significant number of patients with SAH are initially misdiagnosed and subjected to the risks ...
Automated Diagnosis of Glaucoma Using Digital Fundus Images

Glaucoma is a disease of the optic nerve caused by the increase in the intraocular pressure of the eye. Glaucoma mainly affects the optic disc by increasing the cup size. It can lead to the blindness if it is not detected and treated in proper time. The ...
