This study shows a Photoshop-based software is portable and clinically applicable for digital drusen quantification, achieving good interobserver agreement and successfully analyzing 79% of images.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Drusen quantification is crucial for monitoring age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
  • Manual grading of drusen is time-consuming and subjective.
  • Digital tools offer potential for objective and efficient drusen assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the portability and clinical applicability of a novel Photoshop-based software for digital drusen quantification.
  • To assess the interobserver agreement and correlation with manual grading methods.

Main Methods:

  • Independent graders from two institutions used the software for drusen quantification in central and middle Wisconsin subfields.
  • 100 patient images with choroidal neovascularization and drusen were analyzed for suitability.

  • 10 images underwent interinstitutional validation; 100 images assessed practical applicability.

    • Main Results:

    • High interobserver agreement was observed (ICC 0.83-0.84) for drusen quantification.
    • The software demonstrated good overall agreement with manual stereo grading.
    • Digital drusen quantification was feasible in 79% of analyzed images; limitations included RPE changes and reticular drusen.

    Conclusions:

    • The software is portable and clinically applicable for digital drusen quantification across institutions.
    • Good correlation between automated and manual grading supports its utility in AMD research.
    • The software successfully quantified drusen in a majority of images, showing promise for clinical use.
