Abstract

BACKGROUND: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness in adults worldwide. Artificial intelligence (AI) with autonomous deep learning algorithms has been increasingly used in retinal image analysis, particularly for the screening of referrable DR. An established treatment for proliferative DR is panretinal or focal laser photocoagulation. Training autonomous models to discern laser patterns can be important in disease management and follow-up.
