Technology of Automatic Determination of Indications for 2RT-Laser Treatment of AMD from SD-OCT Images Based on Artificial Intelligence Methods

The aim of this work is to develop and study the technology of automatic determination of indications for 2RT-laser treatment of AMD by SD-OCT images based on artificial intelligence methods. This is necessary to improve the accuracy and efficiency of AMD diagnosis, as well as to provide faster and more accurate treatment assignment to each patient. The U-Net architecture was chosen as the neural network architecture to extract the area of interest in the retinal OCT image. The VGG16 architecture was used as the neural network architecture for classification. These architectures are well established. As a result of training, the model showed a fairly high accuracy of 90% for segmentation and 98% for classification. Automatic localization and classification based on SD-OST images will allow the most accurate determination of indications for 2RT laser treatment. This will significantly reduce the burden on physicians and make diagnostics more accessible.
