Ciliary body medulloepithelioma is a nonpigmented tumor which presents during the first decade of life. It is rarely seen in newborn infants. We report a pigmented medulloepithelioma in a newborn infant, which showed a rapid growth. Ciliary body medulloepithelioma should be considered in the differential diagnosis in a newborn infant presenting with leukocoria.
Eye is the most sensitive and valuable organ of vision which helps us to visualize the world around us. Due to the high pressure in the eye, the optic nerve fails to transmit the signal to the brain; such a disorder is called Glaucoma. Detection of Microaneurysms and Hemorrhages are validated from the fundus image. To extract the shape features Morphological image flooding is used. In this approach, candidate regions are first segmented, Feature Extraction is done by Dynamic Shape Features. Further the classification process is carried out using Random Forest (RF) classifier method. The process of screening is evaluated on publicly available database Diaretdb1 with the resolution of 1152 x 1500 pixels for both healthy and abnormal images. The performance of segmentation in this method is evaluated in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and segmentation accuracy. In future, this methodology can be applied to larger clinical dataset in order to detect the disease at the maximum level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
