Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) are drusenoid deposits associated with age-related macular degeneration.
  • Accurate detection and quantification of RPD are crucial for understanding disease progression and developing treatments.
  • Current grading protocols rely on subjective human interpretation, leading to variability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate human performance and agreement in detecting and quantifying RPD using single- and multimodality grading.
  • To develop and assess a machine learning (ML) system for automated RPD detection and quantification.
  • To compare the ML system's performance against human observers.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized color fundus, fundus autofluorescence, and near-infrared images from 278 eyes.
  • Two experienced observers and a developed ML system scored RPD presence under single- and multimodality conditions.
  • Automated quantification of RPD area by the ML system was compared with manual delineations.

Main Results:

  • Multimodality grading enhanced observer performance (ROC AUC 0.940-0.958) and interobserver agreement (κ=0.911).
  • The ML system achieved an ROC AUC of 0.941 with multimodality input.
  • Automated RPD quantification showed good concordance with manual delineations (ICC=0.704).

Conclusions:

  • Multimodality grading significantly improves RPD identification accuracy and observer agreement.
  • The automated ML system performs comparably to human experts in RPD detection and quantification.
  • The developed system offers a fast, accurate method for RPD analysis, facilitating quantitative imaging biomarkers in large-scale studies.
