随着人工智能(artificial intelligence,AI)技术的快速发展,基于深度学习(deep learning,DL)和机器学习的AI技术在医学领域上的应用受到了广泛的关注。AI在眼科的应用也逐渐向更全面更深入的层次发展,通过角膜断层扫描、光学相干断层扫描、裂隙灯图像等技术,AI在对角膜病变、结膜病变、白内障、青光眼等眼部疾病的诊断和治疗方面都表现出了良好的性能。然而AI在眼科的应用方面也存在一些诸如结果可解释性的欠缺、数据集标准化的缺乏、数据集质量的不齐、模型适用性的不足和伦理问题等挑战。在5G和远程医疗飞速发展的时代,眼科AI同时也有许多新的机遇。本文综述了AI在前段眼科疾病中的应用、临床实施的潜在挑战和前景,为AI在眼科领域的进一步发展提供参考信息。
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the application of AI technology based on deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) in the medical field has received widespread attention. The application of AI in ophthalmology is gradually being shifted to a more comprehensive and in-depth level. Trained on corneal tomography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), slit-lamp images, and other techniques. AI can achieve robust performance in the diagnosis and treatment of corneal lesions, conjunctival lesions, cataract, glaucoma and other ophthalmic diseases. However, there are also some challenges in the application of AI in ophthalmology, including the lack of interpretability of results, lack of standardization of data sets, uneven quality of data sets, insufficient applicability of models and ethical issues. In the era of 5G and telemedicine, there are also many new opportunities for ophthalmic AI. In this review, we provided a summary of the state-of-the-art AI application in anterior segment ophthalmic diseases, potential challenges in clinical implementation and its development prospects, and provides reference information for the further development of artificial intelligence in the field of ophthalmology.
随着智能手机覆盖率的增加与可用性的提升,实现智能健康管理的应用程序成为新兴研究热点。新一代智能手机可通过追踪步数,监测心率、睡眠,拍摄照片等方式进行健康分析,成为新的医学辅助工具。随着深度学习技术在图像处理领域的不断进展,基于医学影像的智能诊断已在多个学科全面开花,有望彻底改变医院传统的眼科疾病诊疗模式。眼科疾病的常规诊断往往依赖于各种形式的图像,如裂隙灯生物显微镜、眼底成像、光学相干断层扫描等。因此,眼科成为医学人工智能发展最快的领域之一。将眼科人工智能诊疗系统部署在智能手机上,有望提高疾病诊断效率和筛查覆盖率,改善医疗资源紧张的现状,具有极大的发展前景。综述的重点是基于深度学习和智能手机的眼病预防与远程诊疗的进展,以糖尿病性视网膜病变、青光眼、白内障3种疾病为例,讲述深度学习和智能手机在眼病管理方面的具体研究、应用和展望。
With the increasing coverage and availability of smart phones, the application of realizing intelligent health management has become an emerging research hotspot. The new generation of smart phones can perform health analysis by tracking the step numbers, monitoring heart rate and sleep quality, taking photos and other approaches, thereby becoming a new medical aid tool. With the continuous development of deep learning technology in the field of image processing, intelligent diagnosis based on medical imaging has blossomed in many disciplines, which is expected to completely change the traditional eye diseases diagnosis and treatment mode of hospitals. The conventional diagnosis of ophthalmic diseases often relies on various forms of images, such as slit lamp biological microscope, fundus imaging, optical coherence tomography, etc. As a result, ophthalmology has become one of the fastest growing areas of medical artificial intelligence (AI). The deployment of ophthalmological AI diagnosis and treatment system on smart phones is expected to improve the diagnostic efficiency and screening coverage to relieve the strain of medical resources, which has a great development prospect. This review focuses on the prevention and telemedicine progress of eye diseases based on deep learning and smart phones, taking diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and cataract as examples to describe the specific research, application and prospect of deep learning and smart phones in the management of eye diseases.
