The researchers proposed an interpretable OCTA process aimed at establishing a transparent non-diagnostic connection between retinal vascular measurements and evidence in Alzheimer’s disease research. This process integrates labeled perceptual vascular segmentation, hierarchical vascular biomarker extraction, and measurement-based large language model report generation techniques. Using 117 ROSE-1 images from 39 subjects, the study segmented shallow and deep vascular complexes and their junctions, achieving a ROC-AUC recognition score ranging from 0.916 to 0.970. Six density and fractal dimension biomarkers were extracted to construct a feature spectrum, and a set of internally consistent low-density, low-fractal-dimensional phenotypes was successfully identified without labeled diagnostic labels. The generated reports were evaluated and verified using GPT, Gemini, and Llama models.
