Over the last years, fractal and multifractal geometries were applied extensively in many
medical signal (1D, 2D or 3D) analysis applications like pattern recognition, texture analysis …

Ocular fundus imaging plays a key role in monitoring the health status of the human eye.
Currently, a large number of imaging modalities allow the assessment and/or quantification …

This paper presents a method for automated vessel segmentation in retinal images. For
each pixel in the field of view of the image, a 41-D feature vector is constructed, encoding …

Globally, the number of people with diabetes is expected to reach 552 million in 2030 (1).
Both the macrovascular (coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, and stroke) and …

Introduction: Ocular manifestations in several neurological pathologies accentuate the
strong relationship between the eye and the brain. Retinal alterations in particular can serve …

OBJECTIVE: Fractals represent a type of derived geometric pattern that permits the
characterization of the branching pattern of retinal vessels. We examined a new …

OBJECTIVE—Fractal analysis can quantify the geometric complexity of the retinal vascular
branching pattern and may therefore offer a new method to quantify early diabetic …

Advances in retinal imaging are enabling researchers and clinicians to make precise
noninvasive measurements of the retinal vasculature in vivo. This includes measurements of …

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is considered one of the most diseases that much prevalent
among elderly people all over the world. AD is an incurable neurodegenerative disease …

Aim Fractal analysis provides a global assessment of vascular network architecture. We
examined the relationship of retinal vascular fractal dimension (D f) with coronary heart …
