Abstract
Since introducing optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology for 2D eye imaging, it has become one of the most important and widely used imaging modalities for the noninvasive assessment of retinal eye diseases. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema eye disease are the leading causes of blindness being diagnosed using OCT. Recently, by developing machine learning and deep learning techniques, the classification of eye retina diseases using OCT images has become quite a challenge. In this paper, a novel automated convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture for a multiclass classification system based on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) has been proposed. The system used to classify five types of retinal diseases (age-related macular degeneration (AMD), choroidal neovascularization (CNV), diabetic macular edema (DME), and drusen) in addition to normal cases. The proposed CNN architecture with a softmax classifier overall correctly identified 100% of cases with AMD, 98.86% of cases with CNV, 99.17% cases with DME, 98.97% cases with drusen, and 99.15% cases of normal with an overall accuracy of 95.30%. This architecture is a potentially impactful tool for the diagnosis of retinal diseases using SD-OCT images.
