International Multi-Centre Validation of Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Precise Discrimination between Normal and Abnormal Retinal Development

The study presents an unsupervised domain adaptation model that classifies normal versus abnormal retinal development using optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans from multiple devices and centres. Trained on labelled data from one OCT system and unlabelled data from another, the ResNet50‑based Domain Adversarial Neural Network achieved accuracies between 87.75% and 96.06% across six source‑to‑target pairings and maintained performance on an unseen Heidelberg Spectralis dataset. The approach demonstrates that OCT classification can be transferred across devices without requiring labelled target data, potentially enabling more consistent assessment of retinal development and large‑scale analysis of existing imaging datasets.

CAMEL: Cross-Architecture Masked Embedding Learning for Ultra-Lightweight Retinal Foundation Models

CAMEL (Cross-Architecture Masked Embedding Learning) is a new distillation framework that transfers knowledge from large foundation models to lightweight student models using an asymmetric masking strategy during embedding learning. The method is designed for retinal image analysis, where existing foundation models like RETFound excel but are computationally heavy. Experiments on four datasets demonstrate that CAMEL maintains accuracy while dramatically reducing computational complexity, making it suitable for resource‑limited clinical settings.
