Comparison of deep learning systems and cornea specialists in detecting corneal diseases from low-quality images

Summary: The performance of deep learning in disease detection from high-quality clinical images is identical to and even greater than that of human doctors. However, in low-quality images, deep learning performs poorly. Whether human doctors also have poor performance in low-quality images is unkno...

However, in low-quality images, deep learning performs poorly. Whether human doctors also have poor performance in low-quality images is unknown. Here, we compared the performance of deep learning systems with that of cornea specialists in detecting corneal diseases from low-quality slit lamp images. The results showed that the cornea specialists performed better than our previously established deep learning system (PEDLS) trained on only high-quality images. The performance of the system trained on both high- and low-quality images was superior to that of the PEDLS while inferior to that of a senior corneal specialist. This study highlights that cornea specialists perform better in low-quality images than the system trained on high-quality images. Adding low-quality images with sufficient diagnostic certainty to the training set can reduce this performance gap.Zhongwen LiJiewei JiangWei QiangLiufei GuoXiaotian LiuHongfei WengShanjun WuQinxiang ZhengWei ChenElsevierarticleOcular surfaceOphthalmologyArtificial intelligenceScienceQENiScience, Vol 24, Iss 11, Pp 103317- (2021)
