人工智能在眼病筛查和诊断中的研究进展

Research progress of artificial intelligence in screening and diagnosis of eye diseases

:208-213
 
近年来随着人口老龄化的发展、人群用眼方式的改变,现有的眼科医疗资源正越来越难以满足日渐增长的医疗需求,亟需新型的诊疗模式予以补足。眼科人工智能作为眼科领域的新兴元素,在眼病的筛查诊断中发展迅速,主要表现为“眼部图像数据+人工智能”的模式。近年来,随着该模式在白内障、青光眼、糖尿病性视网膜病变(diabetic retinopathy,DR)等常见病中研究的深入,相关技术日渐成熟,表现出了较大的应用优势与应用前景,部分技术甚至成功转化并被逐渐应用于临床。眼科诊疗向智慧医学模式的过渡,有望缓解日益增长的医疗需求与紧缺的医疗资源之间的矛盾,从而提高整体的医疗服务水平。
The development of population aging and changes in the way people use their eyes over the recent years have increasingly challenged the existing ophthalmic medical resources to meet the growing medical needs, thus urgently calling for a novel diagnostic and treatment mode. Despite its status as an emerging sector in ophthalmology, ophthalmic artificial intelligence has developed rapidly in the screening and diagnosis of eye diseases, as can be seen in practices adopting the “eye imaging data + AI” mode. In recent years, with the intensified research on this mode with respect to common diseases such as cataract, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, relevant technologies have grown increasingly mature, presenting undeniable application superiority and prospects. Some of the relevant technical achievements have also been successfully transformed for practical usage, and are gradually being applied to clinical practices. Ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment are transitioning toward the era of intelligent medical services, which are expected to reduce the contradictions between the growing medical needs and the shortage of medical resources, as well as ultimately improve the overall experience of medical services.

眼球运动检查在阿尔茨海默病诊断的研究进展

Research progress on eye movement examination in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease

:66-73
 
阿尔茨海默病(Alzheimer’s disease,AD)是发生于老年期或老年前期的中枢神经系统退行性病变,以进行性认知功能障碍为特征。随着社会老龄化加剧,AD已成为全球公共卫生问题,亟需研发更敏感、便捷和经济的筛查技术进行早期防控。眼球运动与认知功能密切相关,且眼球运动检查有非侵入性、成本低、检查时间短等优点。研究眼球运动异常和认知功能障碍之间的相关性,有助于研发更简便易操作的认知功能障碍筛查工具。随着人工智能技术的发展,机器学习算法强大的特征提取和计算能力对处理眼球运动检查结果有显著优势。本文对既往AD患者与眼球运动异常之间的相关性研究进行综述,并对机器学习算法模型辅助下,基于眼球运动异常模式进行认知功能障碍早期筛查技术开发的研究前景予以展望。
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system that occurs in old age or early old age. It is characterized by progressive cognitive dysfunction. With the world population aging, AD has become a global public health problem. The development of a more sensitive, convenient, and economic screening technology for AD is urgently needed. The eye movement function is closely related to cognitive function. Moreover, eye movement examination has advantages including non-invasiveness, low cost, and short examination time. Researches on the correlation between abnormal eye movement and cognitive dysfunction can help to develop a simple and easy-to-use screening tool for cognitive dysfunction. With the development of artificial intelligence technology, the dominant feature extraction and computing capabilities of machine learning algorithms have a significant advantage in processing eye movement inspection results. This article reviews the correlation between AD and eye movement abnormalities aiming to provide the research prospects of early screening technology development for cognitive dysfunction based on abnormal eye movement with the application of machine learning models.

眼部相关全身疾病的人工智能诊断

Artificial intelligence diagnosis of eye-related systemic diseases

:222-229
 
全身疾病通过一定途径累及眼球,产生眼部病变,这些眼部病变的严重程度与全身疾病的进展密切相关。人工智能(artificial intelligence,AI)通过识别眼部病变,可以实现对全身疾病的评估,从而实现全身疾病早期诊断。检测巩膜黄染程度可评估黄疸;检测眼球后动脉血流动力学可评估肝硬化;检测视盘水肿,黄斑变性可评估慢性肾病(chronic kidney disease,CKD)进展;检测眼底血管损伤可评估糖尿病、高血压、动脉粥样硬化。临床医生可以通过眼部影像评估全身疾病的风险,其准确度依赖于临床医生的经验水平,而AI识别眼部病变评估全身疾病的准确度可与临床医生相媲美,在联合多种检测指标后,AI模型的特异性与敏感度均可得到显著提升,因此,充分利用AI可实现全身疾病的早诊早治。
Systemic diseases affect eyeballs through certain ways, resulting in eye diseases; The severity of eye diseases is closely related to the progress of systemic diseases. By identifying eye diseases, artificial intelligence (AI) can assess systemic diseases, so as to make early diagnosis of systemic diseases. For example, detection of the degree of icteric sclera can be used to assess jaundice. Detection of the hemodynamics of posterior eyeball can be used to evaluate cirrhosis. Detection of optic disc edema and macular degeneration can be used to evaluate the progress of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Detection of ocular fundus vascular injury can be used to assess diabetes, hypertension and atherosclerosis. Clinicians can estimate the risk of systemic diseases through eye images, and its accuracy depends on the experience level of clinicians, while the accuracy of AI in identifying eye diseases and evaluating systemic diseases can be comparable to clinicians. After combining various detection indexes, the specificity and sensitivity of AI model can be significantly improved, so early diagnosis and early treatment of systemic diseases can be realized by making full use of AI.

人工智能在白内障诊断的应用进展

Advances in artificial intelligence for cataract diagnosis

:160-168
 
白内障是世界范围内致盲的主要原因之一,占中低收入国家致盲病例的50%。随着人口老龄化程度的加深,到2050年中国白内障致盲病例预计达到2 000万。卫生支出占比低、医疗设备及眼科医生紧缺、筛查费用昂贵仍是中低收入国家无法开展大规模白内障筛查的主要原因。人工智能(artificial intelligence,AI)协助白内障诊断具有便捷、低成本、可远程进行等优点,有望减少甚至避免白内障致盲的发生。文章将对AI通过结合裂隙灯眼前节图像、眼底照片及扫频源光学相干层析图像进行白内障自动诊断等研究进行简要综述。
Cataract is a primary cause of blindness globally, particularly accounting for 50% of blindness cases in low- and middle- income countries. As the population ages, it is predicated that cataract blindness cases in China will rise to 20 million by 2050. However, low health expenditures, scarcity of medical equipment and ophthalmologists, and high screening costs continue to hinder mass cataract screening in these countries. Artificial intelligence(AI)-assisted cataract diagnosis offers significant advantages, including convenience, cost-effectiveness, and remote accessibility, potentially reducing or even eliminating cataract blindness. This review aims to concisely summarize the research on automatic cataract diagnosis utilizing AI, incorporating slit lamp images of anterior eye segment, fundus photographs, and swept source optical coherence tomography images.

Objective: To compare the diagnostic rate between in vivo confocal microscopy and pathological examination in retrocorneal fungal infection. Methods: It is a retrospective study. A total of 18 patients with retrocorneal fungal infection and received PKP surgery in the Qingdao Eye Hospital from November 2009 to December 2020 were enrolled. KOH smear and in vivo confocal microscopy examination were performed before surgery, and pathological examination including periodic acid-schiff (PAS) stain and Grocott Methenamine Silver (GMS) stain were performed after surgery. Patients were diagnosed retrocorneal fungal infection based on in vivo confocal microscopy and pathological examination. The diagnostic rates of the two methods were compared. Results: None of the 18 patients with posterior corneal fungal infection were found to have fungal hyphae in the corneal smear.Sixteen patients (88.9%) were found fungal hyphae by in vivo confocal microscopy. Corneal stroma necrosis and a large number of inflammatory cells were shown by postoperative pathologic examination, and all patients were found fungal hyphae in posterior corneal stroma with PAS stain and GMS stain. Conclusion: Confocal microscopy has unique advantages such as non-invasive and rapid examination in the diagnosis of fungal keratitis.However, it needs to combine with pathological examination for diagnosing the retrocorneal fungal infection.
