Objective:
To develop a comprehensive dataset for anterior segment eye disease to enhance research into conditions affecting the front of the eye.
Approach:
- Dataset Development: The CADMUS dataset includes 945,243 images from 22,482 patients, collected during routine clinical care at Moorfields Eye Hospital from December 2019 to September 2024.
- Data Composition: The dataset encompasses various anterior segment conditions, including keratoconus, Fuchs’ corneal dystrophy, corneal scarring, and cataracts, and includes over 40,000 surgical records from more than 12,000 patients.
- Data Integration: CADMUS combines imaging data, quantitative measurements, and linked electronic health records.
Key Findings:
- 96% of patients have multiple follow-up visits, allowing for the study of disease progression.
- The dataset supports research into keratoconus progression and deep learning models.
- Routine clinical images contain biological signals that can predict patient age and biological sex.
Interpretation:
The CADMUS dataset is a significant resource for advancing research in anterior segment diseases.
Limitations:
- The dataset is limited to patients treated at Moorfields Eye Hospital, which may affect its generalizability to other populations.
Conclusion:
The CADMUS dataset is a significant resource for advancing research in anterior segment eye diseases.
