摘要: | 探討醫學臨床研究問題時,常需要量測有興趣的特徵,並進行統計來驗證假說。然而每一種特徵的量測需要花很多人力及時間,加上由於需要人工篩選,只有少量的資料能進行統計,並且找尋的特徵有時會受限於人的想像力,無法更廣泛的探索。因此若能從大量資料表現結果,縮小特徵找尋的範圍,並提供可能的線索特徵,便能加快研究進展。
卷積神經網路能從大量的資料中,主動學習重要特徵,並且透過可視化工具來協助找尋此特徵的位置。因此本研究採用深度學習演算法,利用ResNet、VGG及Inception等卷積神經網路,透過3134位正常人眼睛黃斑部之光學同調斷層掃描影像,學習分辨年齡及性別。經過訓練及驗證後,模型能在測試資料集中達高於75%以上的性別預測準確率以及低於6年的年齡預測誤差。從可視化工具Grad-CAM、Guided Grad-CAM及影像裁切實驗,深度探討後發現(1)男女的黃斑部中央凹有差異,(2)差異的特徵應為中央凹的色素上皮層及內界膜輪廓,(3)黃斑部各層組織與脈絡膜應會隨著年齡而有變化。 過去在眼科學界的認知中,黃斑部的結構並沒有具臨床意義的性別差異。本研究透過深度學習發現黃斑部的中央凹輪廓具有性別差異,而由於根據研究顯示,在OCT上呈現寬中心凹的眼睛,雖然視力完全正常,但其對側眼卻有極高的比例產生特發性黃斑前膜(51.9 %)及黃斑部裂孔(9.6 %)等黃斑部疾病,暗示中央凹輪廓可能是具有臨床意義之性別差異。期望本研究的結果能提供眼科醫師對於黃斑部新的研究方向,未來在流行病學、致病機轉、或是疾病的預防、治療及預後等各方面有所幫助。 When solving clinical problems, features are selected and measured to support a hypothesis. However, it takes a lot of manpower and time to manually measure these features, therefore the amount of measured data is relatively small. Moreover, the characteristics to be searched for are sometimes limited by human imagination. Therefore, convolutional neural networks are trained using deep learning methods, which can automatically detect important features that are difficult or impossible to be recognized by humans, and the amount of analyzed data is much higher. In this thesis, ResNet, VGG, and Inception are used to distinguish the gender and age of 3134 healthy Taiwanese based on images of the macular region by means of optical coherence tomography. The gender-related and age-related features in the images are detected and showed using grad-CAM, a model visualization tool. After training and verification, the model can achieve a gender prediction accuracy of more than 75% and an age error of less than 6 years in the test data set. A thorough analysis with Grad-CAM, Guided Grad-CAM, and image cropping experiments, shows that (1) the fovea in the macula has differences between men and women, (2) the differences should be characterized by the retina pigment epithelium and the inner limiting membrane contours of the fovea, and (3) the tissues and choroids of the macula should change with age. In the past, there was no clinically meaningful gender difference in the structure of the macula. This study found that the contours of the fovea are different for men and women, and according to the research, the eyes with wide fovea pit on the OCT, although the vision is completely normal, the fellow eyes have a very high proportion of macular diseases such as epiretinal membrane (51.9%) and macular hole (9.6%), implicating that the foveal contours may be a clinically meaningful gender difference. It is hoped that the results of this study can provide ophthalmologists with a new research direction for the macula, and will help in the future in epidemiology, pathogenic mechanism, or disease prevention, treatment, and prognosis. |
