Abstract

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) usually requires a comprehensive examination, including clinical symptoms, radiological examinations, and blood tests. Therefore, cost-effective and noninvasive methods for the detection of TAO are needed. This study aimed to establish a deep learning-based system to detect TAO based on retinal photographs.
