Abstract

PURPOSE: The subsidence of the outer plexiform layer (OPL) is an important imaging biomarker on optical coherence tomography (OCT) associated with early outer retinal atrophy and a risk factor for progression to geographic atrophy in patients with intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Deep neural networks (DNNs) for OCT can support automated detection and localization of this biomarker.
