Artificial intelligence for assessment of Stargardt macular atrophy.

ABSTRACT: Stargardt disease (also known as juvenile macular degeneration or Stargardt macular degeneration) is an inherited disorder of the retina, which can occur in the eyes of children and young adults. It is the most prevalent form of juvenile-onset macular dystrophy, causing progressive (and often severe) vision loss. Images with Stargardt disease are characterized by the appearance of flecks in early and intermediate stages, and the appearance of atrophy, due to cells wasting away and dying, in the advanced stage. The primary measure of late-stage Stargardt disease is the appearance of atrophy. Fundus autofluorescence is a widely available two-dimensional imaging technique, which can aid in the diagnosis of the disease. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, in contrast, provides three-
