TITLE A Lightweight and Justifiable Deep Learning Framework for Diagnosing Multiple Classes of Retinal Disease
ABSTRACT Global healthcare systems face a serious issue due to the sharp rise in retinal disorders such Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) and Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV). Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) manual diagnosis is labor-intensive, prone to inter-observer variability, and frequently constrained by the availability of skilled ophthalmologists. In order to increase diagnostic accuracy while minimizing computing overhead, this research introduces "NeuroRetina," an automated, energy-efficient deep learning architecture. The suggested technique divides OCT scans into eight different categories using the MobileNetV3-Large architecture. In contrast to traditional "black-box" models, NeuroRetina incorporates Grad-CAM (Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping) to improve therapeutic trust by offering visual explainability. The suggested approach has excellent classification accuracy and operating efficiency appropriate for real-time deployment, according to experimental research.
