An AI program accurately identified posterior vitreous opacities in patients with posterior vitreous detachments, which may improve screening for retinal tears, according to a study.
“Previous studies have already demonstrated that PVOs are predictive for retinal tears, and we have now demonstrated that AI systems can automatically detect PVOs on OCTs as well,” Royce W.S. Chen, MD, of Columbia University Irving Medical Center, said at the American Society of Retina Specialists annual meeting.
The study collected 500 spectral domain OCT scans of 99 eyes of 93 patients with acute,
