RetinaRadar: Multi-Label Retinal Image Quality Assessment

RetinaRadar is a deep learning model for automated quality assessment and classification of retinal fundus images. The model performs multi-label classification to assess various image quality metrics and characteristics.

Model Description

• Model Type: Multi-label image classification
• Architecture: EfficientNet-B0 (timm)
• Framework: PyTorch Lightning
• Input: RGB fundus images (224x224)
• Output: Multi-label predictions for image quality and characteristics

Predicted Labels

The model predicts the following characteristics:

1. Laterality: Left or right eye
2. Fundus Image Type: Standard, widefield, or ultrawidefield
3. Quality Metrics:
   • Artifacts present/absent
   • Clarity (focus quality)
   • Illumination quality
   • Contrast quality
   • Field of view adequacy
   • Overall usability

Intended Use

Primary Use Cases

• Quality control for retinal imaging datasets
• Automated image quality assessment in clinical workflows
• Pre-screening for downstream diagnostic tasks

Out-of-Scope Use Cases

• Direct clinical diagnosis (this model assesses image quality, not disease)
• Real-time screening without human oversight
• Use on non-fundus images

How to Use

Installation

pip install torch torchvision timm albumentations pytorch-lightning

Basic Usage

from retinaradar import RetinaRadarInference

# Initialize model
inferencer = RetinaRadarInference(
    model_path="retinaradar_model.ckpt",
    device="cuda"  # or "cpu"
)

# Run inference
predictions = inferencer.predict("path/to/fundus_image.jpg")

# Access results
print(f"Laterality: {predictions['laterality']['label']}")
print(f"Image usable: {predictions['usable']['prediction']}")

Detailed Inference

import torch
from PIL import Image
import albumentations as A
from albumentations.pytorch import ToTensorV2

# Load model
model = torch.load("retinaradar_model.ckpt")
model.eval()

# Preprocessing
IMAGENET_MEAN = [0.485, 0.456, 0.406]
IMAGENET_STD = [0.229, 0.224, 0.225]

transform = A.Compose([
    A.Resize(256, 256),
    A.CenterCrop(224, 224),
    A.Normalize(mean=IMAGENET_MEAN, std=IMAGENET_STD),
    ToTensorV2(),
])

# Load and preprocess image
image = Image.open("fundus_image.jpg")
image = np.array(image)
transformed = transform(image=image)
image_tensor = transformed["image"].unsqueeze(0)

# Run inference
with torch.no_grad():
    logits = model(image_tensor)
    probabilities = torch.sigmoid(logits)

# Get predictions
predictions = probabilities > 0.5

Training Data

The model was trained on a curated dataset of retinal fundus images with expert annotations for:

• Image quality metrics
• Laterality labels
• Field of view classifications

Training Details:

• Images: ~10,000+ annotated fundus images
• Sources: Multiple public datasets and clinical sources
• Annotations: Expert-verified labels for all quality metrics

Training Procedure

Preprocessing

• Resize to 256x256
• Center crop to 224x224
• ImageNet normalization
• Data augmentation: horizontal flip, color jitter

Training Hyperparameters

• Architecture: EfficientNet-B0
• Optimizer: Adam
• Learning Rate: 1e-4
• Batch Size: 32
• Epochs: 30
• Loss: BCEWithLogitsLoss
• Framework: PyTorch Lightning

Hardware

• Training: NVIDIA A100 GPU
• Training Time: ~2 hours

Evaluation Results

Overall Metrics

• Accuracy: 95.2%
• F1 Score: 94.8%

Per-Category Performance

Limitations

• Image Quality Dependency: Performance degrades on extremely poor quality images
• Dataset Bias: Trained primarily on clinical datasets; may not generalize to all imaging devices
• Edge Cases: May struggle with rare image types or unusual artifacts
• Not Diagnostic: Does not diagnose diseases, only assesses image quality

Ethical Considerations

• Medical Context: This model is a quality assessment tool, not a diagnostic system
• Human Oversight: Should be used as part of a human-in-the-loop workflow
• Bias: May reflect biases present in training data
• Privacy: Ensure compliance with healthcare data regulations (HIPAA, GDPR)
