Using AI for Detection, Prediction and Classification of Retinal Detachment

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2023 Jun 29:305:636-639. doi: 10.3233/SHTI230578.

Abstract

The current state of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms used to detect, classify and predict the onset of retinal detachment (RD) were examined in this scoping review. This severe eye condition can cause vision loss if left untreated. By analyzing the medical imaging modalities such as fundus photography, AI could help to detect peripheral detachment at an earlier stage. We have searched five databases: PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and IEEE. Two reviewers independently carried out the selection of the studies and their data extractions. 32 studies fulfilled our eligibility criteria from the 666 references collected. In particular, based on the performance metrics employed in these studies, this scoping review provides a general overview of emerging trends and practices concerning using ML and DL algorithms for detecting, classifying, and predicting RD.

Keywords: Retina; Retinal Detachment; convolutional neural networks; deep learning; machine learning.
