Abstract
Methods and systems are described for detecting ocular lesions indicative of an ocular pathology. The methods and systems involve obtaining a fundus image of an eye of a patient, preprocessing the fundus image to obtain a processed fundus image applying a detection model to the processed fundus image to identify whether a lesion is present in the fundus image providing an output based on an output result of the detection model. The detection model is configured for detecting ocular lesions in fundus images and the output is related to a lesion being present in the fundus image.
Claims20
A method for detecting ocular lesions indicative of an ocular pathology, the method comprising:
- obtaining a fundus image of an eye of a patient;
- preprocessing the fundus image to obtain a processed fundus image;
- applying a detection model to the processed fundus image to identify whether a lesion is present in the fundus image, the detection model being configured for detecting ocular lesions in fundus images;
- and
- providing an output based on an output result of the detection model, the output being related to the ocular lesion being present in the fundus image.
A system for detecting ocular lesions indicative of an ocular pathology, the system comprising:
- a database for storing fundus images;
- a memory for storing software instructions for processing a fundus image;
- and
- at least one processor in communication with the memory and the database, the at least one processor, upon executing the software instructions, being configured to:
- obtain the fundus image of an eye of a patient from the database;
- preprocess the fundus image to obtain a processed fundus image;
- apply a detection model to the processed fundus image to identify whether an ocular lesion is present in the fundus image, the detection model being configured for detecting the ocular lesion in fundus images;
- and
- provide an output based on an output result of the detection model, the output result being related to the ocular lesion being present in the fundus image.
