Deep Learning-assisted AMD Staging based on OCT and OCT Angiography 文章

arXiv:2606.05379v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: To develop and evaluate deep learning models for automated grading of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) severity using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) data. Two hundred seventy-one participants aged >= 50 years with varying AMD severities. Central macular 6 x 6 mm OCT/OCTA volumes were acquired using a swept-source OCTA system (SOLIX; Visionix/Optovue Inc., CA). AMD severity was graded into four stages (No AMD, Early AMD, Intermediate AMD, and Advanced AMD) according to the AREDS simplified severity scale. Three deep learning models were developed using different input modalities: (1) biomarker maps derived from segmented pathological features, including retinal fluid, drusen, geographic atrophy (GA), and macular neovascularization (MNV); (2) two-dimensional (2D) en face OCT and OCTA projections; and (3) three-dimensional (3D) OCT/OCTA volumes.
