Abstract

IMPORTANCE: Anomaly detectors could be pursued for retinal diagnoses based on artificial intelligence systems that may not have access to training examples for all retinal diseases in all phenotypic presentations. Possible applications could include screening of population for any retinal disease rather than a specific disease such as diabetic retinopathy, detection of novel retinal diseases or novel presentations of common retinal diseases, and detection of rare diseases with little or no data available for training.
