Diabetic Retinopathy

65
DefinitionDiabetic retinopathy is a microvascular complication of diabetes affecting the retinal blood vessels.Risk FactorsDiabetic retinopathy is present in almost all individuals with type 1 diabetes and more than 60% of those with type 2 diabetes after two decades of disease.The risk increases with poor glycemic control, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, pregnancy, and puberty.Although cataracts and glaucoma are also more frequent in people with diabetes, retinopathy remains the leading...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology and Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
  • Computational Pathology

Background:

  • Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision loss, necessitating accurate and efficient detection methods.
  • Manual DR assessment is time-consuming and prone to human error, highlighting the need for automated solutions.
  • Deep learning (DL) shows promise for enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of DR classification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an automated system for classifying diabetic retinopathy severity using advanced deep learning.
  • To improve the accuracy and efficiency of DR detection compared to manual methods.
  • To leverage metaheuristic optimization for enhanced classification performance in retinal fundus images.

Main Methods:

  • A four-stage automated DR classification pipeline was proposed, including pre-processing (green channel conversion, CLAHE, Gaussian filtering).
  • Fundus lesions were segmented using Fuzzy Possibilistic C Ordered Means (FPCOM).
  • Classification was performed by an Attention AlexNet model optimized with the Improved Nutcracker Optimizer (At-AlexNet-ImNO).

Main Results:

  • The At-AlexNet-ImNO model achieved high performance on benchmark datasets (APTOS-2019 and EyePacs).
  • Accuracy, precision, and recall rates exceeded 98% on both datasets, demonstrating robust classification capabilities.
  • The ImNO optimizer effectively enhanced the performance of the At-AlexNet model by optimizing weights and hyperparameters.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed automated DR classification system, utilizing metaheuristic-optimized deep learning, demonstrates significant potential for accurate and efficient DR grading.
  • This approach offers a promising tool for early detection and management of diabetic retinopathy, potentially reducing irreversible vision loss.
  • The study validates the effectiveness of combining advanced DL architectures with metaheuristic optimization for complex medical image analysis tasks.
