To analyze the effect of transfer learning (TL) for classification of diabetic retinopathy (DR) by fundus photography and select retinal diseases by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Five widely used open-source deep neural networks (DNNs) and 4 customized simpler and smaller networks, termed the CBR-family, were trained and evaluated on 2 tasks: (1) classification of DR using fundus photography and (2) classification of drusen, choroidal neovascularization (CNV), and diabetic macular edema (DME) using SD-OCT. For DR-classification, the quadratic weighted Kappa coefficient was used to measure the level of agreement between each network and ground-truth labeled test cases. For SD-OCT based classification, accuracy was calculated for each network. Kappa and accuracy were compared between iterations with and without use of TL for each network to assess for its effect. For DR-classification, Kappa increased with TL for all networks (range of increase 0.152–0.556). For SD-OCT based classification, accuracy increased for 4 of 5 open-source DNNs (range of increase 1.8–3.5%), slightly decreased for the remaining DNN (−0.6%), decreased slightly for 3 of 4 CBR networks (range of decrease 0.9–1.8%) and decreased by 9.6% for the remaining CBR network. TL improved performance, as measured by Kappa, for DR-classification for all networks, although the effect ranged from small to substantial. TL had minimal effect on accuracy for SD-OCT based classification for 8 of the 9 networks analyzed. These results imply that TL may substantially increase performance for DR-classification but may have minimal effect for SD-OCT based classification.
