AI model accurately classifies retinal development across OCT devices

Researchers have developed and validated an unsupervised domain adaptation model to accurately classify normal versus abnormal retinal development from optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans. This model, based on a ResNet50 architecture and Domain Adversarial Neural Networks, can generalize across different OCT devices and clinical centers without requiring labeled data from the target devices. The system demonstrated high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity in distinguishing between normal and abnormal retinal development, showing potential for more consistent assessment and large-scale analysis of retinal imaging data. AI

IMPACT This AI model could standardize the assessment of retinal development, enabling more consistent clinical evaluations and facilitating large-scale analysis of existing imaging datasets.
