Deep learning and ensemble stacking technique for differentiating polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy from neovascular age-related macular degeneration

Abstract Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) and neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) share some similarity in clinical imaging manifestations. However, their disease entity and treatment strategy as well as visual outcomes are very different. To distinguish these two vision-threa...
