Abstract

PURPOSE: Reliable classification of referable and vision threatening diabetic retinopathy (DR) is essential for patients with diabetes to prevent blindness. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and its angiography (OCTA) have several advantages over fundus photographs. We evaluated a deep-learning-aided DR classification framework using volumetric OCT and OCTA.
