Artificial Intelligence System for Assessing Image Quality of Fundus Images and Its Effects on Diagnosis

Fundus images are widely used in ophthalmology for the detection of diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and other diseases. In real-world practice, the quality of fundus images can be unacceptable, which can undermine diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. Here, the researchers established and validated an artificial intelligence system to achieve automatic quality assessment of fundus images upon capture. This system can also provide guidance to photographers according to the reasons for low quality.
