OCT and OCTA Deep Learning in Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study evaluates the ability of deep learning to improve the knowledge about structural and vascular retinal changes in Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia patients, using optical coherence tomography angiography.

Detailed Description
Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (mak-roe-glob-u-lih-NEE-me-uh) is a rare type of cancer that begins in the white blood cells.
The optical coherence tomography angiography represents a novel and noninvasive diagnostic technique that allows a detailed and quantitative analysis of retinal and choriocapillary vascular features. The study evaluates the changes in optical coherence tomography angiography features in Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, elaborating these data with artificial intelligence.
