The detection of microaneurysms in digital color fundus photographs is a critical first step in
automated screening for diabetic retinopathy (DR), a common complication of diabetes. To …

The aim of this paper is to describe three emerging computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems
induced by Japanese health care needs. CAD has been developing fast in the last two …

The presence of microaneurysms in the eye is one of the early signs of diabetic retinopathy,
which is one of the leading causes of vision loss. We have been investigating a …

The automatic determination of the optic disc area in retinal fundus images can be useful for
calculation of the cup-to-disc (CD) ratio in the glaucoma screening. We compared three …

Retinal image examination is useful for early detection of glaucoma, which is a leading cause
of permanent blindness. In order to evaluate the presence of glaucoma, ophthalmologists …

Retinal nerve fiber layer defect (NFLD) is a major sign of glaucoma, which is the second
leading cause of blindness in the world. Early detection of NFLDs is critical for improved …

Microaneurysm in the retina is one of the signs of simple diabetic retinopathy. We have been
investigating a computerized method for the detection of microaneurysms on retinal fundus …

Glaucoma is a leading cause of permanent blindness. Retinal fundus image examination is
useful for early detection of glaucoma. In order to evaluate the presence of glaucoma, the …

An automated method for measurement of arteriolar-to-venular diameter ratio (AVR) is
presented. The method includes optic disc segmentation for the determination of the AVR …

Recently, we have been developing several automated algorithms for detecting masses on
mammograms. For our algorithm, we devised an adaptive thresholding technique for …
