Abstract

AbstractWe aimed to determine the effect of optic disc tilt on deep learning-based optic disc classification. A total of 2507 fundus photographs were acquired from 2236 eyes of 1809 subjects (mean age of 46 years; 53% men). Among all photographs, 1010 (40.3%) had tilted optic discs. Image annotation was performed to label pathologic changes of the optic disc (normal, glaucomatous optic disc changes, disc swelling, and disc pallor). Deep learning-based classification modeling was implemented to develop optic-disc appearance classification models with the photographs of all subjects and those with and without tilted optic discs. Regardless of deep learning algorithms, the classification models showed better overall performance when developed based on data from subjects with non-tilted discs (AUC, 0.988 ± 0.002, 0.991 ± 0.003, and 0.986 ± 0.003 for VGG16, VGG19, and DenseNet121, respectively) than when developed based on data with tilted discs (AUC, 0.924 ± 0.046, 0.928 ± 0.017, and 0.935 ± 0.008). In classification of each pathologic change, non-tilted disc models had better sensitivity and specificity than the tilted disc models. The optic disc appearance classification models developed based all-subject data demonstrated lower accuracy in patients with the appearance of tilted discs than in those with non-tilted discs. Our findings suggested the need to identify and adjust for the effect of optic disc tilt on the optic disc classification algorithm in future development.
