PURPOSE: This study aims to develop a deep-learning-based software capable of detecting and differentiating microaneurysms (MAs) as hyporeflective or hyperreflective on structural optical coherence tomography (OCT) images in patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR).
METHODS: A retrospective cohort of 249 patients (498 eyes) diagnosed with NPDR was analysed. Structural OCT scans were obtained using the Heidelberg Spectralis HRA + OCT device. Manual segmentation of MAs was performed by five masked readers, with an expert grader ensuring consistent labeling. Two deep learning models, YOLO (You Only Look Once) and DETR (DEtection TRansformer), were trained using the annotated OCT images. Detection and classification performance were evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
RESULTS: The YOLO model performed poorly with an AUC of 0.35 for overall MA detection, with AUCs of 0.33 and 0.24 for hyperreflective and hyporeflective MAs, respectively. The DETR model had an AUC of 0.86 for overall MA detection, but AUCs of 0.71 and 0.84 for hyperreflective and hyporeflective MAs, respectively. Post-hoc review revealed that discrepancies between automated and manual grading were often due to the automated method's selection of normal retinal vessels.
CONCLUSIONS: The choice of deep learning model is critical to achieving accuracy in detecting and classifying MAs in structural OCT images. An automated approach may assist clinicians in the early detection and monitoring of diabetic retinopathy, potentially improving patient outcomes.
