A doctoral dissertation at the Institute of Informatics for Post Graduate Studies at the University of Information Technology and Communications discussed the analysis of retinal images and the segmentation of retinal blood vessels using deep learning.

The dissertation,which was in the field of computer science, was for the student Hoda Dhari Sata’.

It aims to present a robust and accurate algorithm for analyzing medical images for the purpose of vascular segmentation, which can capture most of the fine details of the vascular network.
Then, it presents an automated diagnosis method to support early and accurate diagnosis of retinal diseases.

After a scientific discussion by the head and members of the discussion committee, the student obtained a PhD with a very good grade.
