Model-to-Data Approach for Deep Learning in Optical Coherence Tomography Intraretinal Fluid Segmentation
Importance Amid an explosion of interest in deep learning in medicine, including within ophthalmology, concerns regarding data privacy, security, and sharing are of increasing importance. A model-to-data approach, in which the model itself is transferred rather than data, can circumvent many of these challenges but has not been previously demonstrated in ophthalmology. Objective To determine whether a model-to-data deep learning approach (ie, validation of the algorithm without any data transfer) can be applied in ophthalmology. Design, Setting, and Participants This single-center cross-sectional study included patients with active exudative age-related macular degeneration undergoing optical coherence tomography (OCT) at the New England ...
