PURPOSE: In cases of optic disc swelling, segmentation of projected retinal blood vessels from optical coherence tomography (OCT) volumes is challenging due to swelling-based shadowing artifacts. Based on our hypothesis that simultaneously considerin...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of a deep learning system (DLS) in classifying the severity of papilledema associated with increased intracranial pressure on standard retinal fundus photographs.
Papilledema is a syndrome of the retina in which retinal optic nerve is inflated by elevation of intracranial pressure. The papilledema abnormalities such as retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) opacification may lead to blindness. These abnormalities co...

BACKGROUND: The examination of the optic nerve head (optic disc) is mandatory in patients with headache, hypertension, or any neurological symptoms, yet it is rarely or poorly performed in general clinics. We recently developed a brain and optic nerv...

BACKGROUND: The use of artificial intelligence is becoming more prevalence in medicine with numerous successful examples in ophthalmology. However, much of the work has been focused on replicating the works of ophthalmologists. Given the analytical p...
PURPOSE: The Fundus photography vs Ophthalmoscopy Trial Outcomes in the Emergency Department (FOTO-ED) studies showed that ED providers poorly recognized funduscopic findings in patients in the ED. We tested a modified version of the Brain and Optic ...

BACKGROUND: Pediatric papilledema often reflects an underlying severe neurologic disorder and may be difficult to appreciate, especially in young children. Ocular fundus photographs are easy to obtain even in young children and in nonophthalmology se...

BACKGROUND: Optic disc drusen (ODD) represent an important differential diagnosis of papilledema caused by intracranial hypertension, but their distinction may be difficult in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to train, validate, and test ...
