ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate the performance of a deep learning based Artificial Intelligence (AI) software for detection of glaucoma from stereoscopic optic disc photographs, and to compare this performance to the performance of a large cohort of ophthalmologists and optometrists.METHODS:
A retrospective study evaluating the diagnostic performance of an AI software (Pegasus v1.0, Visulytix Ltd., London UK) and comparing it with that of 243 European ophthalmologists and 208 British optometrists, as determined in previous studies, for the detection of glaucomatous optic neuropathy from 94 scanned stereoscopic photographic slides scanned into digital format.RESULTS:
Pegasus was able to detect glaucomatous optic neuropathy with an accuracy of 83.4% (95% CI 77.5-89.2). This is comparable to an average ophthalmologist accuracy of 80.5% (95% CI 67.2-93.8) and average optometrist accuracy of 80% (95% CI 67-88) on the same images. In addition, the AI system had an intra-observer agreement (Cohen's Kappa, κ) of 0.74 (95% CI 0.63-0.85), compared with 0.70 (range -0.13-1.00; 95% CI 0.67-0.73) and 0.71 (range 0.08-1.00) for ophthalmologists and optometrists, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the performance of the deep learning system and ophthalmologists or optometrists.CONCLUSION:
The AI system obtained a diagnostic performance and repeatability comparable to that of the ophthalmologists and optometrists. We conclude that deep learning based AI systems, such as Pegasus, demonstrate significant promise in the assisted detection of glaucomatous optic neuropathy.
