Description |
The timely and accurate detection of optic disc abnormalities, in particular papilledema, is a key part of the clinical examination; however, few physicians confidently perform ophthalmoscopy. Our goal was to develop an artificial intelligence deep learning system (AI-DLS) capable of distinguishing 'normal optic nerves', 'papilledema' (optic disc edema from proven intracranial hypertension), and 'other optic nerve abnormalities' on standard digital fundus photographs from a large, multiethnic, worldwide, patient population. This classification was chosen to provide a low-cost, non-invasive test that facilitates identification of patients less (those with normal optic nerves) or more (those with papilledema) likely to have neurologic disorders associated with high morbidity/mortality in emergency settings. |
