AVA-Net, which is available on GitHub for open access, enables quantitative AV analysis of AV area and vascular perfusion intensity. Comparative analysis revealed AV-PIDR as the most sensitive feature for OCTA detection of early DR. Ensemble AV feature analysis, e.g., the combination of A-PID and AV-PIDR, can further improve the performance for early DR assessment.
