Human adjudication of DR grading enhances machine learning algorithm

Data derived from live adjudication of fundus image grading improved the accuracy of an automated learning system for screening for diabetic retinopathy, according to a study.
In this retrospective analysis, retinal fundus images from diabetic retinopathy screening programs were graded by an algorithm and by U.S. board-certified ophthalmologists and retina specialists. The consensus of the retina specialists was used as the reference standard.
“The present work suggests that an adjudication process yielding a consensus grade from multiple retina specialists provides a more rigorous
