Abstract

BACKGROUND: Epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a common age-related retinal disease detected by optical coherence tomography (OCT), with a prevalence of 34.1% among people over 60 years old. This study aims to develop artificial intelligence (AI) systems to assist in the diagnosis of ERM grade using OCT images and to clinically evaluate the potential benefits and risks of our AI systems with a comparative experiment.
