Lesion-attention pyramid network for diabetic retinopathy grading

作者：

Highlights：

• A novel multi-resolution network is developed to focus on the lesion regions and perform DR grading.

• The lesion attention module legitimately fuses the lesion activation map and network features.

• The method has superior diagnostic performance of DR and provides the lesion regions.
