Summary

We developed an artificial intelligence system, called QiLin, which was designed to assist anti-VEGF treatment decisions in retinal diseases. QiLin was trained and validated via over 20,000 optical coherence tomography images from multicenter datasets, demonstrating strong performance on both internal and external validation. To evaluate its real-world clinical utility, we conducted a randomized controlled trial that rigorously compares the accuracy of treatment decisions between a physician-only arm and an AI-assisted physician arm.
