RESUMO

Glaucoma is a chronic neuro-degenerative condition that is one of the world's leading causes of irreversible but preventable blindness. The blindness is generally caused by the lack of timely detection and treatment. Early screening is thus essential for early treatment to preserve vision and maintain life quality. Colour fundus photography and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) are the two most cost-effective tools for glaucoma screening. Both imaging modalities have prominent biomarkers to indicate glaucoma suspects, such as the vertical cup-to-disc ratio (vCDR) on fundus images and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness on OCT volume. In clinical practice, it is often recommended to take both of the screenings for a more accurate and reliable diagnosis. However, although numerous algorithms are proposed based on fundus images or OCT volumes for the automated glaucoma detection, there are few methods that leverage both of the modalities to achieve the target. To fulfil the research gap, we set up the Glaucoma grAding from Multi-Modality imAges (GAMMA) Challenge to encourage the development of fundus & OCT-based glaucoma grading. The primary task of the challenge is to grade glaucoma from both the 2D fundus images and 3D OCT scanning volumes. As part of GAMMA, we have publicly released a glaucoma annotated dataset with both 2D fundus colour photography and 3D OCT volumes, which is the first multi-modality dataset for machine learning based glaucoma grading. In addition, an evaluation framework is also established to evaluate the performance of the submitted methods. During the challenge, 1272 results were submitted, and finally, ten best performing teams were selected for the final stage. We analyse their results and summarize their methods in the paper. Since all the teams submitted their source code in the challenge, we conducted a detailed ablation study to verify the effectiveness of the particular modules proposed. Finally, we identify the proposed techniques and strategies that could be of practical value for the clinical diagnosis of glaucoma. As the first in-depth study of fundus & OCT multi-modality glaucoma grading, we believe the GAMMA Challenge will serve as an essential guideline and benchmark for future research.

RESUMO

Background: Anisotropy which encodes rich structure and function information is one of the key and unique characteristics of tissues. Polarized photoacoustic imaging shows tremendous potential for the detection and quantification of the anisotropy of tissues. The existing polarized photoacoustic imaging methods cannot quantify anisotropy and detect the orientation of the optical axis in 3D imaging. Methods: We proposed a versatile polarized photoacoustic imaging method based on the detection of high-order harmonics of the photoacoustic signal, which can be used for both 2D and 3D polarized photoacoustic imaging, This method can detect and quantify the anisotropy and the orientation of the optical axis of the anisotropic objects by the amplitude and initial phase of the high-order harmonics. A double-focusing polarized photoacoustic microscopy was developed to validate the proposed method. Experiments were conducted on 2D and 3D anisotropic phantoms. Results: The results showed that the anisotropy and the orientation of the optical axis of the anisotropic object can be detected and quantified accurately by the amplitude and initial phase of the high-order harmonics, even at a depth of triple transport mean free path. The imaging depth of the polarized photoacoustic microscopy is mainly limited by laser energy attenuation rather than depolarization. Conclusions: Polarized photoacoustic microscopy based on high-order harmonics has tremendous potential for imaging the anisotropy of deep biological tissues in vivo. It also extends the capability of photoacoustic microscopy to image the anisotropy of tissues.

RESUMO

Purpose: To develop and assess a deep learning system that automatically detects angle closure and quantitatively measures angle parameters from ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) images using a deep learning algorithm. Methods: A total of 3788 UBM images (2146 open angle and 1642 angle closure) from 1483 patients were collected. We developed a convolutional neural network (CNN) based on the InceptionV3 network for automatic classification of angle closure and open angle. For nonclosed images, we developed a CNN based on the EfficienttNetB3 network for the automatic localization of the scleral spur and the angle recess; then, the Unet network was used to segment the anterior chamber angle (ACA) tissue automatically. Based on the results of the latter two processes, we developed an algorithm to automatically measure the trabecular-iris angle (TIA500 and TIA750), angle-opening distance (AOD500 and AOD750), and angle recess area (ARA500 and ARA750) for quantitative evaluation of angle width. Results: Using manual labeling as the reference standard, the ACA classification network's accuracy reached 98.18%, and the sensitivity and specificity for angle closure reached 98.74% and 97.44%, respectively. The deep learning system realized the automatic measurement of the angle parameters, and the mean of differences was generally small between automatic measurement and manual measurement. The coefficients of variation of TIA500, TIA750, AOD500, AOD750, ARA500, and ARA750 measured by the deep learning system were 5.77%, 4.67%, 10.76%, 7.71%, 16.77%, and 12.70%, respectively. The within-subject standard deviations of TIA500, TIA750, AOD500, AOD750, ARA500, and ARA750 were 5.77 degrees, 4.56 degrees, 155.92 µm, 147.51 µm, 0.10 mm2, and 0.12 mm2, respectively. The intraclass correlation coefficients of all the angle parameters were greater than 0.935. Conclusions: The deep learning system can effectively and accurately evaluate the ACA automatically based on fully automated analysis of a UBM image. Translational Relevance: The present work suggests that the deep learning system described here could automatically detect angle closure and quantitatively measure angle parameters from UBM images and enhancing the intelligent diagnosis and management of primary angle-closure glaucoma.

RESUMO

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) for automated localization of the scleral spur in ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) images of open-angle eyes. Methods: UBM images were acquired, and one glaucoma specialist provided reference coordinates of scleral spur locations in all images. A CNN model based on the EfficientNetB3 architecture was developed to detect the scleral spur in each image. The prediction errors and Euclidean distance were used to evaluate localization performance of the CNN model. Trabecular-iris angle 500 (TIA500) and angle-opening distance 500 (AOD500) were measured and analyzed using the scleral spur locations provided by the specialist and predicted by the CNN model. Results: The CNN was developed using a training dataset of 2328 images and tested using an independent dataset of 258 images. The mean absolute prediction errors of CNN model were 48.06 ± 45.40 µm for X-coordinates and 30.84 ± 27.03 µm for Y-coordinates. The mean absolute intraobserver variability was 47.80 ± 44.45 µm for X-coordinates and 29.50 ± 25.77 µm for Y-coordinates. The mean Euclidean distance of the CNN was 60.41 ± 49.02 µm and the intraobserver mean Euclidean distance was 59.78 ± 47.12 µm. The mean absolute error in TIA500 was 1.26 ± 1.38 degrees for all test images and in AOD500 was 0.039 ± 0.051 mm. Conclusions: A CNN can detect the scleral spur on UBM images of open-angle eyes with performance similar to that of a glaucoma specialist. Translational Relevance: Deep learning algorithms for automating scleral spur localization would facilitate the quantitative assessment of the opening of the angle and the risk in angle closure.
