Quantification of Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer Thickness on Optical Coherence Tomography with a Deep Learning Segmentation-Free Approach.


ABSTRACT: This study describes a segmentation-free deep learning (DL) algorithm for measuring retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT). The study included 25,285 B-scans from 1,338 eyes of 706 subjects. Training was done to predict RNFL thickness from raw unsegmented scans using conventional RNFL thickness measurements from good quality images as targets, forcing the DL algorithm to learn its own representation of RNFL. The algorithm was tested in three different sets: (1) images without segmentation errors or artefacts, (2) low-quality images with segmentation errors, and (3) images with other artefacts. In test set 1, segmentation-free RNFL predictions were highly correlated with conventional RNFL thickness (r?=?0.983, P?
