Background

Accurate assessment and surveillance of retinoblastoma (retinoblastoma) require more efficient and objective measurements.

Purpose

This study aims to develop an artificial intelligence (artificial intelligence) system, named retinoblastoma-Care, for automatic classification and quantitative assessment of retinoblastoma.

Methods

A total of 3730 wide-field fundus images were included for the development and validation of 2 models in RB-Care.

n = 3730 wide-field fundus images
0.9734
Results
0.9734
correctly sorted images into normal or tumor types almost every time
n = 3730 wide-field fundus images
More results

The segmentation model can make precise boundary detection and quantitative measurement on tumors and optic discs, achieving mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) of 0.9670 and Dice similarity coefficient (dice similarity coefficient) of 0.9780 for tumor segmentation, and mIoU of 0.9999 and dice similarity coefficient of 0.9999 for optic disc segmentation, which reaches a comparable level with ophthalmologists.

“
Conclusion · 1 of 2

The retinoblastoma-Care achieved excellent performance in both retinoblastoma classification and segmentation.

Conclusion · 2 of 2

Consequently, the tumor size and the distance between tumor and optic disc can be quantified, which provides an objective measurement tool for quantitative assessment and surveillance of retinoblastoma in clinical settings.
