Diagnostic accuracy of a deep learning model for pterygium detection in Barcelos, Brazilian Amazon

The deep learning model demonstrated high diagnostic performance in identifying pterygium in a remote Amazonian population. These preliminary findings support the potential use of artificial intelligence-based tools to facilitate early detection and screening in underserved regions, thereby enhancing access to ophthalmic care.

Abstract

The deep learning model demonstrated high diagnostic performance in identifying pterygium in a remote Amazonian population. These preliminary findings support the potential use of artificial intelligence-based tools to facilitate early detection and screening in underserved regions, thereby enhancing access to ophthalmic care.
