Separate Detection of Stromal and Epithelial Corneal Edema on Optical Coherence Tomography Using a Deep Learning Pipeline and Transfer Learning

The accurate detection of corneal edema has become a topic of growing interest with the generalization of endothelial keratoplasty. Despite recent advances in deep learning for corneal edema detection, the problem of minimal edema remains challenging. Using transfer learning and a limited training s...

description The accurate detection of corneal edema has become a topic of growing interest with the generalization of endothelial keratoplasty. Despite recent advances in deep learning for corneal edema detection, the problem of minimal edema remains challenging. Using transfer learning and a limited training set of 11 images, we built a model to segment the corneal epithelium, which is part of a three-model pipeline to detect corneal edema. A second and a third model are used to detect edema on the stroma alone and on the epithelium. A validation set of 233 images from 30 patients consisting of three groups (Normal, Minimal Edema and important Edema) was used to compare the results of our new pipeline to our previous model.
