In ophthalmology, artificial intelligence methods show great promise due to their potential to enhance clinical observations with predictive capabilities and support physicians in diagnosing and treating patients. This paper focuses on modelling glaucoma evolution because it requires early diagnosis, individualized treatment, and lifelong monitoring. Glaucoma is a chronic, progressive, irreversible, multifactorial optic neuropathy that primarily affects elderly individuals. It is important to emphasize that the processed data are taken from medical records, unlike other studies in the literature that rely on image acquisition and processing. Although more challenging to handle, this approach has the advantage of including a wide range of parameters in large numbers, which can highlight their potential influence. Artificial neural networks are used to study glaucoma progression, designed through successive trials for near-optimal configurations using the NeuroSolutions and PyTorch frameworks. Furthermore, different problems are formulated to demonstrate the influence of various structural and functional parameters on the study of glaucoma progression. Optimal neural networks were obtained using a program written in Python using the PyTorch deep learning framework. For various tasks, very small errors in training and validation, under 5%, were obtained. It has been demonstrated that very good results can be achieved, making them credible and useful for medical practice.
在眼科学中,人工智能方法具有很大的应用前景,因为它们具有增强临床观察能力的潜力,同时还可以为医生提供诊断和治疗患者的支持。本文专注于建模青光眼的演变,因为它需要早期诊断、个体化治疗和终身监测。青光眼是一种慢性、进行性、不可逆转的多因素视神经病变,主要影响老年人。值得强调的是,处理后的数据来自于病历,与文献中的其他研究不同,后者依赖于图像采集和处理。尽管这种方法更具挑战性,但它具有一个优势,即可以在大量参数中包含广泛的参数,从而突出其潜在的影响。人工神经网络用于研究青光眼的进展,通过使用 NeuroSolutions 和 PyTorch 框架进行连续试验来设计接近最优的配置。此外,还制定了不同的问题来演示各种结构和功能参数对青光眼进展研究的影响。使用 Python 编写的程序和 PyTorch 深度学习框架获得了最优的神经网络。对于各种任务,在训练和验证中,误差非常小,都低于 5%。已经证明可以取得非常好的结果,这使得它们在医学实践中具有可信度和实用性。
