RETINAL COLOR FUNDUS IMAGE ANALYSIS FOR DETECTION OF AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION

摘要

A facility diagnoses AMD in a subject patient. The facility obtains one or more patient images for a subject patient, which depict at least one of the subject patient's eyes. The facility applies an image-based classifier to at least one of the patient images to obtain a first AMD risk score. The facility identifies the macular region of an eye depicted in the patient images, and applies a deep learning-based classifier to the identified macular region to obtain a second AMD risk score. The facility identifies lesions present in an eye depicted in the patient images, and applies a deep learning-based classifier to the identified lesions to obtain a third AMD risk score. The facility combines the first AMD risk score, second AMD risk score, and third AMD risk score to obtain a unified AMD risk score.
