Hyperlipidemia has many ocular manifestations, the most prevalent being retinal vascular occlusion. Hyperlipidemic lesions and occlusions to the vessels supplying the retina result in permanent blindness, necessitating prompt detection and treatment. Retinal vascular occlusion is diagnosed using different imaging modalities, including optical coherence tomography angiography. These diagnostic techniques obtain images representing the blood flow through the retinal vessels, providing an opportunity for AI to utilize image recognition to detect blockages and abnormalities before patients present with symptoms. AI is already being used as a non-invasive method to detect retinal vascular occlusions and other vascular pathology, as well as predict treatment outcomes. As providers see an increase in patients presenting with new retinal vascular occlusions, the use of AI to detect and treat these conditions has the potential to improve patient outcomes and reduce the financial burden on the healthcare system. This article comprehends the implications of AI in the current management strategies of retinal vascular occlusion (RVO) in hyperlipidemia and the recent developments of AI technology in the management of ocular diseases.
高血脂症有许多眼部表现,最常见的是视网膜血管阻塞。高血脂引起的血管病变和阻塞会导致永久性失明,因此需要及时发现和治疗。视网膜血管阻塞可通过不同的成像方式诊断,包括光相干断层扫描血管造影。这些诊断技术可获取代表视网膜血管血流的图像,为人工智能利用图像识别在患者出现症状之前检测阻塞和异常提供了机会。人工智能已被用作一种非侵入性方法来检测视网膜血管阻塞和其他血管病变,并预测治疗结果。随着医生看到越来越多的新视网膜血管阻塞患者就诊,使用人工智能来检测和治疗这些疾病有可能改善患者的预后并减轻医疗系统的财务负担。本文理解了人工智能在高血脂症视网膜血管阻塞(RVO)的当前管理策略中的意义,以及人工智能技术在眼部疾病管理方面的最新进展。
