Abstract

This study compared an automated deep learning algorithm with certified human graders from the Vienna Reading Center (VRC) in identifying intra- (IRF) and subretinal fluid (SRF) in OCT scans of patients treated for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic macular edema (DME) and branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). Multicenter clinical trial data from the VRC imaging database…
