Abstract

PURPOSE: Accurate image-based ophthalmic diagnosis relies on fundus image clarity. This has important implications for the quality of ophthalmic diagnoses and for emerging methods such as telemedicine and computer-based image analysis. The purpose of this study was to implement a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) for automated assessment of fundus image quality in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
