Investigators from Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Target Diabetic Retinopathy (Ocular Biomarkers: Useful Incidental Findings By Deep Learning Algorithms In Fundus Photographs).

Researchers from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in Australia have found that artificial intelligence (AI) can assist in the analysis of ocular images for screening and diagnosing diabetic retinopathy. However, the AI is not yet capable of fully autonomous screening. The study aimed to detect incidental ocular biomarkers by screening fundus photographs of hypertensive adults using deep learning algorithms. The results suggest that these algorithms may be responsive to hypertensive and other clinically useful retinal biomarkers within an at-risk, hypertensive cohort. Further exploration of non-referable and false-positive outputs of other deep learning screening models could be useful in different populations. [Extracted from the article]
