A novel deep learning conditional generative adversarial network for producing angiography images from retinal fundus photographs

Abstract Fluorescein angiography (FA) is a procedure used to image the vascular structure of the retina and requires the insertion of an exogenous dye with potential adverse side effects. Currently, there is only one alternative non-invasive system based on Optical coherence tomography (OCT) technol...
