Researchers have developed a new unsupervised method called Anatomy-Slot for retinal diagnosis that explicitly models the bilateral nature of the condition. By decomposing image patches into distinct slots and aligning them across both eyes using cross-attention, the technique aims to improve diagnostic accuracy. In tests on the ODIR-5K dataset, Anatomy-Slot demonstrated a 4.2% improvement in AUC compared to a standard ViT-L baseline, suggesting that explicit structural correspondence enhances diagnostic performance.
