DOI: 10.1371/journal.pdig.0000618

Over the past 2 decades, exponential growth in data availability, computational power, and newly available modeling techniques has led to an expansion in interest, investment, and research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. Ophthalmology is one of many fields that seek to benefit from AI given the advent of telemedicine screening programs and the use of ancillary imaging. However, before AI can be widely deployed, further work must be done to avoid the pitfalls within the AI lifecycle.

Assessment of Clinical Metadata on the Accuracy of Retinal Fundus Image Labels in Diabetic Retinopathy in Uganda: Case-Crossover Study Using the Multimodal Database of Retinal Images in Africa

Authors: Arunga S, Morley KE, Kwaga T, Morley MG, Nakayama LF, Mwavu R, Kaggwa F, Ssempiira J, Celi LA, Haberer JE, Obua C

Journal: JMIR Form Res (8, 2024)

Pages: e59914

DOI: 10.2196/59914

Labeling color fundus photos (CFP) is an important step in the development of artificial intelligence screening algorithms for the detection of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Most studies use the International Classification of Diabetic Retinopathy (ICDR) to assign labels to CFP, plus the presence or absence of macular edema (ME).

Ophthalmology Optical Coherence Tomography Databases for Artificial Intelligence Algorithm: A Review

Authors: Restrepo D, Quion JM, Do Carmo Novaes F, Azevedo Costa ID, Vasquez C, Bautista AN, Quiminiano E, Lim PA, Mwavu R, Celi LA, Nakayama LF

Journal: Semin Ophthalmol (39(3), 2024)

Pages: 200-210

DOI: 10.1080/08820538.2024.2312464

This review examines optical coherence tomography (OCT) databases used for AI algorithm development in ophthalmology, highlighting the importance of diverse datasets for accurate AI models.
