Evaluation of Generative Adversarial Networks for High-Resolution Synthetic Image Generation of Circumpapillary Optical Coherence Tomography Images for Glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Deep learning (DL) networks require large data sets for training, which can be challenging to collect clinically. Generative models could be used to generate large numbers of synthetic optical coherence tomography (OCT) images to train such DL networks for glaucoma detection.

Objective

To assess whether generative models can synthesize circumpapillary optic nerve head OCT images of normal and glaucomatous eyes and determine the usability of synthetic images for training DL models for glaucoma detection.

Design, setting, and participants

Progressively growing generative adversarial network models were trained to generate circumpapillary OCT scans. Image gradeability and authenticity were evaluated on a clinical set of 100 real and 100 synthetic images by 2 c
