Artificial intelligence for diagnosis of keratoconus using Scheimpflug based corneal tomography
Aim To develop and evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of deep learning (DL) models in differentiating keratoconus (KC) from normal eyes with regular astigmatism. Methods A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted at the Cornea and Diagnostic Department of Al-Shifa Trust Eye Hospital, Pakistan. Galilei dual Scheimpflug-based corneal topography was performed to obtain four corneal maps: anterior axial curvature, posterior axial curvature, corneal thickness, and posterior elevation. Four convolutional neural n…
Convolutional neural networks trained on four Scheimpflug-based corneal maps differentiated keratoconus from normal astigmatic eyes with up to 99.2% accuracy and AUC 1.00, with external validation retaining 97-98% accuracy.
Findings are bounded to a single-center cohort aged 10 to 40y and to Galilei dual Scheimpflug imaging, limiting generalizability to other ages, devices, and settings.

Certified into the record
How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0256 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
