Intra- and Inter-expert Validation of an Automatic Segmentation Method for Fluid Regions Associated with Central Serous Chorioretinopathy in OCT Images.

Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a retinal disorder caused by the accumulation of fluid, resulting in vision distortion. The diagnosis of this disease is typically performed through Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging, which displays any fluid buildup between the retinal layers. Currently, these fluid regions are manually detected by visual inspection a time-consuming and subjective process that can be prone to errors.

Robust multi-view approaches for retinal layer segmentation in glaucoma patients via transfer learning.

Background: Glaucoma is the leading global cause of irreversible blindness. Glaucoma patients experience a progressive deterioration of the retinal nervous tissues that begins with a loss of peripheral vision. An early diagnosis is essential in order to prevent blindness.

A new generative approach for optical coherence tomography data scarcity: unpaired mutual conversion between scanning presets.

In optical coherence tomography (OCT), there is a trade-off between the scanning time and image quality, leading to a scarcity of high quality data. OCT platforms provide different scanning presets, producing visually distinct images, limiting their compatibility. In this work, a fully automatic methodology for the unpaired visual conversion of the two most prevalent scanning presets is proposed.

End-to-end multi-task learning approaches for the joint epiretinal membrane segmentation and screening in OCT images.

Background And Objectives: The Epiretinal Membrane (ERM) is an ocular disease that can cause visual distortions and irreversible vision loss. Patient sight preservation relies on an early diagnosis and on determining the location of the ERM in order to be treated and potentially removed. In this context, the visual inspection of the images in order to screen for ERM signs is a costly and subjective process.
