Abstract

BACKGROUND: Around 30% of nonexudative macular neovascularizations exudate within 2 years from diagnosis in patients with age-related macular degeneration. The aim of this study is to develop a deep learning classifier based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) to identify nonexudative macular neovascularizations at risk of exudation.
