Deep Learning on Retina Images as Screening Tool for Diagnostic Decision Support

In this project, we developed a deep learning system applied to human retina images for medical diagnostic decision support. The retina images were provided by EyePACS. These images were used in the framework of a Kaggle contest, whose purpose to identify diabetic retinopathy signs through an automatic detection system. Using as inspiration one of the solutions proposed in the contest, we implemented a model that successfully detects diabetic retinopathy from retina images. After a carefully designed preprocessing, the images were used as input to a deep convolutional neural network (CNN). The CNN performed a feature extraction process followed by a classification stage, which allowed the system to differentiate between healthy and ill patients using five categories. Our model was able to identify diabetic retinopathy in the patients with an agreement rate of 76.73 test data.
