- * The traditional diagnostic method, like corneal scraping cultures, is slow and often inaccurate, prompting the need for better solutions.
- * This study introduces DeepIK, a deep learning system trained on over 23,000 slit-lamp images, which consistently outperforms existing algorithms in diagnosing various types of keratitis, aiding ophthalmologists in making faster and more accurate diagnoses.*
