Classifying Retinal Degeneration in Histological Sections Using Deep Learning

Purpose: Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are increasingly being used to classify retinal diseases. In this study we investigated the ability of a convolutional neural network (CNN) in categorizing histological images into different classes of retinal degeneration. Methods: Images were obtained from a chemically induced feline model of monocular retinal dystrophy and split into training and testing sets. The training set was graded for...
