Accuracy of Longitudinal AI based EZ Loss Quantification on OCT in Geographic Atrophy

Shelby Storm, Madeline Pflasterer-Jennerjohn, Robert Slater, Rachel Linderman, Jeong W. Pak, David Lopez, Barbara A. Blodi, Amitha Domalpally Abstract Purpose: Ellipsoid zone (EZ) loss is increasingly used as an endpoint in geographic atrophy (GA) trials, and AI algorithms are usually applied for automated EZ-loss area measurement. Most AI validations use cross-sectional datasets; however, therapeutic endpoints …

Real World Validation of Optos AI Algorithm for GA area Measurement

Reeva Faisal, Caleb Pacheco, Robert Slater, Mohammed S. Younis, Jomol Matthew, Marine Nalbandyan, Amitha Domalpally, Roomasa Channa Abstract Purpose: Optos ultrawide field imaging is widely used in routine care to monitor Geographic Atrophy (GA) progression due to ease of imaging and comfort to patients. Our AI algorithm for GA quantification was originally developed and validated …

AI-based Multilayer OCT Segmentation Model for AMD

Rachel Linderman, Aadhi1 Balasubramanian, Madeline Pflasterer-Jennerjohn, Lucas Maakested, Jeong W. Pak, Robert Slater, Roomasa Channa, Barbara A. Blodi, Amitha Domalpally Abstract Purpose: To assess an artificial intelligence (AI)-based OCT segmentation with the ability to segment 7 different layer edges. This created 6 retinal thickness layers that are for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) clinical trials. Methods: …

UWF-Based Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) Prescreening Using a Novel Patch-Based AI Model

Nancy Barrett, Varsha Satish, Robert Slater, Thomas Saunders, Rachel Linderman, Barbara Blodi, Amitha Domalpally Abstract Purpose: Ultra-widefield (UWF) color photographs are widely used in clinical practice and clinical trials because they capture the entire retina with minimal patient burden. Trial eligibility includes DR severity, distinguishing moderately severe NPDR (ETDRS ≥47) from lower severity levels. However, …

AI-based Multilayer OCT Segmentation Model For Macular Edema

Justin Bitner, Rachel Linderman, Aadhi Balasubramanian, Madeline Pflasterer-Jennerjohn, Jeong W. Pak, Robert Slater, Roomasa Channa, Lucas Maakested, Barbara A. Blodi, Amitha Domalpally Abstract Purpose: To train and assess an artificial intelligence (AI)-based OCT segmentation with the ability to segment 6 different layer edges. This created 5 different retinal thickness layers that are commonly requested for …

Real World Deployment of a Prescreening Algorithm for Geographic Atrophy

Thomas Saunders, Robert Slater, Roomasa Channa, Barbara A. Blodi, Amitha Domalpally Abstract Purpose: Area of geographic atrophy (GA) is a primary enrollment criterion in clinical trials. Current practices rely on clinicians to screen subjects for inclusion without a practical or reliable tool for GA area measurement, leading to screen failure rates as high as 50%. …

AI-enabled multi-disease OCT segmentation

Caleb Pacheco, Rachel E. Linderman, Madeline Pflasterer-Jennerjohn, Mark Banghart, Robert D. Slater, Roomasa Channa, Amitha Domalpally Abstract Purpose: To develop an artificial intelligence (AI) enabled OCT segmentation algorithm specifically tailored for diabetic macular edema (DME), capable of consistent performance across different OCT devices, addressing critical challenges in ophthalmic diagnostics. A secondary objective was to evaluate …

Deep Learning-Based Quantification of GA Area on OCT Scans

Rushi N. Mankad, Madeline Pflasterer-Jennerjohn, Rachel E. Linderman, Robert Slater, Amitha Domalpally Abstract Purpose: The consensus of Atrophy (CAM) criteria provides a robust framework for evaluating geographic atrophy (GA) with optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans. However, the manual assessment of GA area based on these criteria is highly time-consuming and labor-intensive. This study aims to …

Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled pre-screening for Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) clinical trials

Nancy Barrett, Robert Slater, Rachel E. Linderman, Rick Voland, Claire Calhoun, Jennifer K. Sun, Barbara A. Blodi, Amitha Domalpally, with the DRCR Retina Network Abstract Purpose: Preventive strategies to slow progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR) are currently of interest.Clinical trials typically enroll patients at high risk of progression based on DR severity scores (DRSS), oftenmoderate …

AI-based Measurement of GA Area for Screening In Clinical Trials

Mohammed Younis, Robert D. Slater, Caleb Pacheco, Sairi Zhang, Rick Voland, Rachel E. Linderman, Roomasa Channa, Amitha Domalpally Abstract Purpose: To develop and validate a transfer learning model for measuring geographic atrophy (GA) area using ultrawide field (UWF) fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging. The model was initially trained and validated on Heidelberg Spectralis images and subsequently …
