Ultra-widefield color fundus images and artificial intelligence for diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Ultra-widefield (UWF) fundus cameras capture a larger retinal area without pupil dilation. We summarized evidence and diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven diabetic retinopathy (DR) assessments using UWF images (UWFIs). We searched PubMed, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science to February 9, 2025, for studies evaluating DR using UWFIs and AI analyses. We followed the PRISMA guidelines and assessed study quality using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for…

Current reading — gain

AI-driven diabetic retinopathy screening using ultra-widefield fundus images achieved a summary sensitivity of 85.0% and AUC of 0.870 in meta-analysis.

Current reading — problem

AI-driven diabetic retinopathy screening using ultra-widefield fundus images showed limited specificity of 72.5% in meta-analysis.

What this doesn’t fix

Findings are limited by small evidence base and lack of diverse external validation across platforms.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0564 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.
