Abstract

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision impairment globally, necessitating early and accurate detection through effective screening methods. We focus on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques in automating and enhancing DR diagnosis. Timely detection and classification of DR severity are critical for patient management and intervention. AI-driven DR classification frameworks typically consist of sequential stages: image preprocessing, optic disc (OD) localization and removal, blood vessel segmentation, feature extraction, and classification of DR severity. In the proposed and implemented model, each of these phases was systematically addressed to ensure improved performance. The implementation demonstrated superior accuracy, achieving 98.02 % on the widely used MESSIDOR dataset. The pipeline incorporated effective preprocessing to enhance image quality, accurate OD localization and exclusion to avoid false detections, followed by precise vessel segmentation. Extracted features were then used to train deep learning models for DR severity classification. Comparative analysis with existing methods executed on the same dataset revealed that proposed model outperformed other state-of-the-art techniques in terms of classification accuracy and robustness. Ww outline the recent progress in AI-based DR screening, highlighting the significance of each diagnostic phase and their role in improving overall performance. By evaluating multiple approaches and benchmarking them against established dataset, the study emphasizes the transformative role of AI in DR diagnosis. Despite current challenges, AI holds substantial promise in clinical application, offering scalable, accurate, and efficient DR screening solutions that may significantly reduce the risk of blindness in diabetic patients.

用人工智能展开糖尿病视网膜病变的诊断管道:系统综述。
糖尿病视网膜病变(DR)是全球视力损害的主要原因,需要通过有效的筛查方法进行早期准确的检测。我们专注于人工智能(AI)技术在自动化和增强DR诊断中的集成。及时发现和分类DR严重程度对患者管理和干预至关重要。人工智能驱动的DR分类框架通常由连续的阶段组成:图像预处理、视盘(OD)定位和去除、血管分割、特征提取和DR严重程度分类。在建议和实现的模型中,系统地处理了这些阶段中的每个阶段,以确保改进性能。在广泛使用的MESSIDOR数据集上,实现的准确率达到98.02 %。该管道采用了有效的预处理来提高图像质量,精确的外径定位和排除以避免误检,然后进行精确的血管分割。然后使用提取的特征来训练深度学习模型,用于DR严重程度分类。与在同一数据集上执行的现有方法进行比较分析表明,所提出的模型在分类精度和鲁棒性方面优于其他最先进的技术。我们概述了基于人工智能的DR筛查的最新进展,强调了每个诊断阶段的重要性及其在提高整体表现方面的作用。通过评估多种方法并根据已建立的数据集对其进行基准测试,该研究强调了人工智能在DR诊断中的变革性作用。尽管目前面临挑战,但人工智能在临床应用中具有巨大的前景,它提供了可扩展、准确和高效的DR筛查解决方案,可以显著降低糖尿病患者失明的风险。
