Automated Analysis for Retinopathy of Prematurity by Deep Neural Networks.
IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging 2018 August 7
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a retinal vasproliferative disorder disease principally observed in infants born prematurely with low birth weight. ROP is an important cause of childhood blindness. Although automatic or semiautomatic diagnosis of ROP has been conducted, most previous studies have focused on "plus" disease, which is indicated by abnormalities of retinal vasculature. Few studies have reported methods for identifying the "stage" of ROP disease. Deep neural networks have achieved impressive results in many computer vision and medical image analysis problems, raising expectations that it might be a promising tool in automatic diagnosis of ROP. In this paper, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with novel architecture is proposed to recognize the existence and severity of ROP disease per-examination. The severity of ROP is divided into mild and severe cases according to the disease progression. The proposed architecture consists of two sub-networks connected by a feature aggregate operator. The first sub-network is designed to extract high-level features from images of the fundus. These features from different images in an examination are fused by the aggregate operator, then used as the input for the second subnetwork to predict its class. A large dataset imaged by RetCam 3 is used to train and evaluate the model. The high classification accuracy in the experiment demonstrates the effectiveness of proposed architecture for recognizing ROP disease.
