Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article examines a current area of research in the field of ophthalmology the use of deep learning methods for automated analysis of retinal structures. This work explores the use of deep learning methods such as EfficientNet and DenseNet for the automated analysis of retinal structures in ophthalmology. EfficientNet, originally proposed to balance between accuracy and computational efficiency, and DenseNet, based on dense connections between layers, are considered as tools for identifying and classifying retina features. Automated analysis includes identifying pathologies, assessing the degree of their development and, possibly, diagnosing various eye diseases. Experiments are performed on a dataset containing a variety of images of retinal structures. Results are evaluated using metrics of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. It is expected that the proposed deep learning methods can significantly improve the automated analysis of retinal images, which is important for the diagnosis and monitoring of eye diseases. As a result, the article highlights the significance and promise of using deep learning methods in ophthalmology for automated analysis of retinal structures. These methods help improve the early diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of eye diseases, which can ultimately lead to improved healthcare quality and improved patient lives.
