Abstract

PURPOSE: To build a deep learning model to diagnose glaucoma using fundus photography. DESIGN: Cross sectional case study Subjects, Participants and Controls: A total of 1,542 photos (786 normal controls, 467 advanced glaucoma and 289 early glaucoma patients) were obtained by fundus photography. METHOD: The whole dataset of 1,542 images were split into 754 training, 324 validation and 464 test datasets. These datasets were used to construct simple logistic classification and convolutional neural network using Tensorflow. The same datasets were used to fine tune pre-trained GoogleNet Inception v3 model. RESULTS: The simple logistic classification model showed a training accuracy of 82.9%, validation accuracy of 79.9% and test accuracy of 77.2%. Convolutional neural network achieved accuracy and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 92.2% and 0.98 on the training data, 88.6% and 0.95 on the validation data, and 87.9% and 0.94 on the test data. Transfer-learned GoogleNet Inception v3 model achieved accuracy and AUROC of 99.7% and 0.99 on training data, 87.7% and 0.95 on validation data, and 84.5% and 0.93 on test data. CONCLUSION: Both advanced and early glaucoma could be correctly detected via machine learning, using only fundus photographs. Our new model that is trained using convolutional neural network is more efficient for the diagnosis of early glaucoma than previously published models.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
