• Abstract summary: Previous foundation models for retinal images were pre-trained with limited disease categories and knowledge base. To RetiZero's pre-training, we compiled 341,896 fundus images paired with text descriptions, sourced from public datasets, ophthalmic literature, and online resources. RetiZero exhibits superior performance in several downstream tasks, including zero-shot disease recognition, image-to-image retrieval, and internal- and cross-domain disease identification.

• Abstract: Previous foundation models for retinal images were pre-trained with limited disease categories and knowledge base. Here we introduce RetiZero, a vision-language foundation model that leverages knowledge from over 400 fundus diseases. To RetiZero's pre-training, we compiled 341,896 fundus images paired with text descriptions, sourced from public datasets, ophthalmic literature, and online resources, encompassing a diverse range of diseases across multiple ethnicities and countries. RetiZero exhibits superior performance in several downstream tasks, including zero-shot disease recognition, image-to-image retrieval, and internal- and cross-domain disease identification. In zero-shot scenarios, RetiZero achieves Top5 accuracy scores of 0.8430 for 15 fundus diseases and 0.7561 for 52 fundus diseases. For image retrieval, it achieves Top5 scores of 0.9500 and 0.8860 for the same disease sets, respectively. Clinical evaluations show that RetiZero's Top3 zero-shot performance surpasses the average of 19 ophthalmologists from Singapore, China and the United States. Furthermore, RetiZero significantly enhances clinicians' accuracy in diagnosing fundus disease. These findings underscore the value of integrating the RetiZero foundation model into clinical settings, where a variety of fundus diseases are encountered.

  Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of vision loss in working-age adults worldwide, yet under-resourced regions lack ophthalmologists. Current state-of-the-art deep learning systems struggle at these institutions due to limited generalizability. This paper explores a novel federated learning system for diabetic retinopathy diagnosis with the EfficientNetB0 architecture.

  We introduce a rare disease question-answering (ReDis-QA) dataset to evaluate the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) in diagnosing rare diseases. We collected 1360 high-quality question-answer pairs within the ReDis-QA dataset, covering 205 rare diseases. We then benchmarked several open-source LLMs, revealing that diagnosing rare diseases remains a significant challenge for these models. Experiment results demonstrate that ReCOP can effectively improve the accuracy of LLMs on the ReDis-QA dataset by an average of 8%.

  We establish an uncertainty-inspired open-set (UIOS) model, which was trained with fundus images of 9 retinal conditions. Our UIOS model with thresholding strategy achieved an F1 score of 99.55%, 97.01% and 91.91% for the internal testing set. UIOS correctly predicted high uncertainty scores, which would prompt the need for a manual check in the datasets of non-target categories retinal diseases, low-quality fundus images, and non-fundus images.

  Ultra-widefield (UWF) imaging is a promising modality that captures a larger retinal field of view. Previous studies showed that deep learning (DL) models are effective for detecting retinal disease in UWF images. We propose a DL model that can recognise multiple retinal diseases under more realistic conditions.
