摘要

In this work, we presented a novel DR diagnosis model utilizing graph neural networks (GNN) & transferring learning over retinal fundus images. To portray the relationships between the various retinal regions, we tested a graph using CNN as a feature extractor. A GNN enhances diagnostic precision and interpretability by classifying images into several DR phases. Our approach surpasses the most advanced CNN-based techniques when tested on Kaggle’s Diabetic Retinopathy Detection, Messidor-2, and APTOS 2019 datasets, obtaining 98.2% accuracy with 97.8% sensitivity and 98.5% specificity. Our method’s result is shown by the statistical significance test (p < 0.001).
