Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Lesion-Based Urgent Referral Triage of Ultra-Widefield Retinal Images: A Multi-Reader Multi-Case Randomized Reader Study (ALERT-UWF)
Clinical Utility of an Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Lesion-Based Urgent Referral Triage System for Ultra-Widefield Retinal Images: A Prospective Multi-Reader Multi-Case Randomized Reader Study
his study evaluates the clinical utility of an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted lesion-based urgent referral triage system for ultra-widefield (UWF) retinal images.
Unlike disease-classification systems, the AI system identifies predefined vision-threatening retinal findings and generates lesion-level urgent referral recommendations. Participating ophthalmologists will evaluate UWF retinal images under randomized AI-assisted and unassisted conditions.
The primary objective is to determine whether lesion-based AI assistance improves urgent referral triage performance compared with unaided image interpretation.

Detaljerad beskrivning
Ultra-widefield retinal imaging is increasingly used for retinal disease screening and referral triage. Many vision-threatening retinal abnormalities require timely identification and referral to retinal specialists.
The AI system evaluated in this study is designed as a lesion-based triage tool rather than a disease-diagnosis system. The model identifies predefined urgent referral retinal findings and generates referral recommendations based on lesion-level evidence.
Urgent referral findings include:
- Retinal detachment
- Untreated retinal tear or retinal hole
- Vitreous hemorrhage
- Pre-retinal hemorrhage
- Subretinal hemorrhage
- Retinal neovascularization
- Optic disc neovascularization
- Tractional fibrovascular membrane Treated retinal tears associated with laser barricade scars are classified as non-urgent referral findings.
A total of 600 UWF retinal images acquired using Zeiss and Optos imaging systems will be included.
Participating ophthalmologists will independently evaluate images in randomized AI-assisted and unassisted settings.
The primary objective is to determine whether AI assistance improves lesion-based urgent referral triage accuracy.
