Abstract
Cystoid macular edema (CME) is a sight-threatening condition often associated with inflammatory and diabetic diseases. Early detection is crucial to prevent irreversible vision loss. Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown promise in automating CME diagnosis through optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging, but its utility needs critical evaluation. This systematic review assesses the application of AI to diagnosis CME, specifically focusing on disorders like postoperative CME (Irvine Gass syndrome) and retinitis pigmentosa without obvious vasculopathy, using OCT imaging. A comprehensive search was conducted across 6 databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Wiley, ScienceDirect, and IEEE) from 2018 to November, 2023. Twenty-three articles met the inclusion criteria and were selected for in-depth analysis. We evaluate AI's role in CME diagnosis and its performance in “detection”, “classification”, and “segmentation” of OCT retinal images. We found that convolutional neural network (CNN)-based methods consistently outperformed other machine learning techniques, achieving an average accuracy of over 96 % in detecting and identifying CME from OCT images. Despite certain limitations such as dataset size and ethical concerns, the synergy between AI and OCT, particularly through CNNs, holds promise for significantly advancing CME diagnostics.
期刊介绍:
Survey of Ophthalmology is a clinically oriented review journal designed to keep ophthalmologists up to date. Comprehensive major review articles, written by experts and stringently refereed, integrate the literature on subjects selected for their clinical importance. Survey also includes feature articles, section reviews, book reviews, and abstracts.
