Summary
This study introduces a novel Myopia Detection Network (MDNet) for accurate myopia detection in fundus images. The proposed method achieves a Mean Absolute Error of 1.1150 D, demonstrating its effectiveness in diagnosing myopia.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Medical Imaging
- Artificial Intelligence
Background:
- Myopia detection is crucial for preventing vision loss and diagnosing related conditions like myopic retinopathy.
- Current detection methods may lack efficiency and accuracy, necessitating advanced automated solutions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a novel automated system, the Myopia Detection Network (MDNet), for enhanced myopia detection in Optos fundus images.
- To improve the accuracy and efficiency of myopia detection using a deep learning approach.
Main Methods:
- An automatic optic disc recognition method was employed for Region of Interest extraction and noise reduction.
- Data augmentation techniques were utilized to expand the dataset and mitigate overfitting.
- A Myopia Detection Network (MDNet) incorporating Attention Dense blocks was constructed for myopia detection.
Main Results:
- The MDNet achieved a Mean Absolute Error of 1.1150 D for Spherical Equivalent detection.
- The proposed method demonstrated feasibility and applicability for automated myopia detection in Optos fundus images.
Conclusions:
- The developed MDNet offers a promising automated solution for myopia detection.
- This approach can aid in early diagnosis and management of myopia and its complications.
