Abstract

PURPOSE: Quantitative assessment of inflammation is critical for the accurate diagnosis and effective management of uveitis. This study aims to introduce a novel three-dimensional vision transformer approach using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) to quantify anterior chamber (AC) inflammation in uveitis patients.
