Abstract
Retinal toxicity among long-term users of Hydroxychloroquine manifests with loss in the Ellipsoid zone (EZ) detectable on SD-OCT imaging. This work reports an automatic deep-learning algorithm to detect and segment EZ loss in SD-OCT. The proposed model predicts EZ loss map, in a dual network architecture that operates in parallel combining scan-by-scan detections in horizontal and vertical directions. The combined model demonstrated the best overall performance with F1 score = 0.91 ± 0.07, improving the performance compared to individual models. Automatic methods for EZ loss detection could provide a useful tool to facilitate screening of patients for evidence of toxicity.
