title = "3D-CNN for Glaucoma Detection Using Optical Coherence Tomography",
abstract = "The large size of raw 3D optical coherence tomography (OCT) volumes poses challenges for deep learning methods as it cannot be accommodated on a single GPU in its original resolution. The direct analysis of these volumes however, provides advantages such as circumventing the need for the segmentation of retinal structures. Previously, a deep learning (DL) approach was proposed for the detection of glaucoma directly from 3D OCT volumes, where the volumes were significantly downsampled first. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end DL model for the detection of glaucoma that doubles the number of input voxels of the previously proposed method, and also boasts an improved AUC = 0.973 over the results obtained using the previously proposed approach of AUC = 0.946. Furthermore, this paper also includes a quantitative analysis of the regions of the volume highlighted by grad-CAM visualization. Occlusion of these highlighted regions resulted in a drop in performance by 40%, indicating that the regions highlighted by gradient-weighted class activation maps (grad-CAM) are indeed crucial to the performance of the model.",
