Deep learning of longitudinal visual fields predicts glaucoma progression rate and identifies fast progressors

Read the original on arXiv AI →

Deep learning framework GLAM predicts glaucoma progression rates from longitudinal Humphrey 24‑2 visual field data and five clinical features, achieving a mean absolute error of 0.139 dB yr⁻¹ and an AUC of 0.990 for fast‑progressor detection. Using attention‑based fusion and aleatoric uncertainty, GLAM outperforms a ridge regression baseline by 73.5% in MD‑rate prediction. The model demonstrates that visual field data alone can match multimodal pipelines for progression prognostication.

OptiModNet: A UNet-Transformer Hybrid with Grouped-Query and Channel Attention for Optic Disc and Cup Segmentation

OptiModNet is a lightweight UNet‑Transformer hybrid designed for optic disc and cup segmentation. It incorporates grouped‑query and channel attention across multiple stages, along with an Aggregated Pyramid Loss to improve gradient flow and structural consistency. Evaluated on the REFUGE2 dataset, it surpasses existing methods by over 2.5 % while using only 3.73 GFLOPs and 1.93 M parameters.

Diagnostic-Guided Longitudinal Modeling for Forecasting Retinal Atrophy Progression

The study proposes a diagnostic-guided approach to choose between stochastic and deterministic longitudinal imaging models based on whether inter-visit changes are driven by disease progression or acquisition variability. Applied to a large, heterogeneous Optos fundus autofluorescence archive, the diagnostic revealed weak time-dependent changes and limited benefit from stochastic models, leading to the development of the deterministic Temporal Retinal U‑Net (TRU). TRU outperformed other classical and deep‑learning comparators on image‑level and eye‑specific progression metrics across held‑out and independent zero‑shot transfer cohorts, though with slightly lower precision in a smaller cross‑vendor cohort.
