Automated deep learning-based AMD detection and staging in real-world OCT datasets (PINNACLE study report 5)

Abstract Real-world retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans are available in abundance in primary and secondary eye care centres. They contain a wealth of information to be analyzed in retrospective studies. The associated electronic health records alone are often not enough to generate a h...

description Abstract Real-world retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans are available in abundance in primary and secondary eye care centres. They contain a wealth of information to be analyzed in retrospective studies. The associated electronic health records alone are often not enough to generate a high-quality dataset for clinical, statistical, and machine learning analysis. We have developed a deep learning-based age-related macular degeneration (AMD) stage classifier, to efficiently identify the first onset of early/intermediate (iAMD), atrophic (GA), and neovascular (nAMD) stage of AMD in retrospective data. We trained a two-stage convolutional neural network to classify macula-centered 3D volumes from Topcon OCT images into 4 classes: Normal, iAMD, GA and nAMD. In the first stage, a 2D ResNet50 is trained to identify the disease categories on the individual OCT B-scans while in the second stage, four smaller models (ResNets) use the concatenated B-scan-wise output from the first stage to classify the entire OCT volume. Classification uncertainty estimates are generated with Monte-Carlo dropout at inference time. The model was trained on a real-world OCT dataset, 3765 scans of 1849 eyes, and extensively evaluated, where it reached an average ROC-AUC of 0.94 in a real-world test set.
