Abstract

PURPOSE: Changes in retinal structure and microvasculature are connected to parallel changes in the brain. Two recent studies described machine learning algorithms trained on retinal images and quantitative data that identified Alzheimer's dementia and mild cognitive impairment with high accuracy. Prior studies also demonstrated retinal differences in individuals with PD. Herein, we developed a convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify multimodal retinal imaging from either a Parkinson's disease (PD) or control group.
