VALIDATION OF A DEEP LEARNING-BASED ALGORITHM FOR SEGMENTATION OF THE ELLIPSOID ZONE ON OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY IMAGES OF AN USH2A-RELATED RETINAL DEGENERATION CLINICAL TRIAL.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess the generalizability of a deep learning-based algorithm to segment the ellipsoid zone (EZ).

Methods

The dataset consisted of 127 spectral-domain optical coherence tomography volumes from eyes of participants with USH2A-related retinal degeneration enrolled in the RUSH2A clinical trial (NCT03146078). The EZ was segmented manually by trained readers and automatically by deep OCT atrophy detection, a deep learning-based algorithm originally developed for macular telangiectasia Type 2. Performance was evaluated using the Dice similarity coefficient between the segmentations, and the absolute difference and Pearson's correlation of measurements of interest obtained from the segmentations.

Results

With deep OCT atrophy detection, the average (mean ± SD, median) Dice similarity coefficient was 0.79 ± 0.27, 0.90. The average absolute difference in total EZ area was 0.62 ± 1.41, 0.22 mm2 with a correlation of 0.97. The average absolute difference in the maximum EZ length was 222 ± 288, 126 µm with a correlation of 0.97.

Conclusion

Deep OCT atrophy detection segmented EZ in USH2A-related retinal degeneration with good performance. The algorithm is potentially generalizable to other diseases and other biomarkers of interest as well, which is an important aspect of clinical applicability.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to introduce a new deep learning (DL) model for segmentation of the fovea avascular zone (FAZ) in en face optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and compare the results with those of the device's built-in software and manual measurements in healthy subjects and diabetic patients. In this retrospective study, FAZ borders were delineated in the inner retinal slab of 3 × 3 enface OCTA images of 131 eyes of 88 diabetic patients and 32 eyes of 18 healthy subjects. To train a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) model, 126 enface OCTA images (104 eyes with diabetic retinopathy and 22 normal eyes) were used as training/validation dataset. Then, the accuracy of the model was evaluated using a dataset consisting of OCTA images of 10 normal eyes and 27 eyes with diabetic retinopathy. The CNN model was based on Detectron2, an open-source modular object detection library. In addition, automated FAZ measurements were conducted using the device's built-in commercial software, and manual FAZ delineation was performed using ImageJ software. Bland-Altman analysis was used to show 95% limit of agreement (95% LoA) between different methods. The mean dice similarity coefficient of the DL model was 0.94 ± 0.04 in the testing dataset. There was excellent agreement between automated, DL model and manual measurements of FAZ in healthy subjects (95% LoA of - 0.005 to 0.026 mm2 between automated and manual measurement and 0.000 to 0.009 mm2 between DL and manual FAZ area). In diabetic eyes, the agreement between DL and manual measurements was excellent (95% LoA of - 0.063 to 0.095), however, there was a poor agreement between the automated and manual method (95% LoA of - 0.186 to 0.331). The presence of diabetic macular edema and intraretinal cysts at the fovea were associated with erroneous FAZ measurements by the device's built-in software. In conclusion, the DL model showed an excellent accuracy in detection of FAZ border in enfaces OCTA images of both diabetic patients and healthy subjects. The DL and manual measurements outperformed the automated measurements of the built-in software.
