Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Geographic atrophy (GA) is a severe form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) characterized by retinal thinning and RPE loss, leading to irreversible vision impairment.
  • Accurate segmentation of GA lesions is crucial for monitoring disease progression and evaluating treatment efficacy in clinical trials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a semi-automated algorithm for segmenting geographic atrophy (GA) in spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images.
  • To compare the performance of the proposed algorithm against manual segmentation and commercial software.

Main Methods:

  • The algorithm utilizes RPE-choroid surface segmentation to create retinal projection images, focusing analysis on relevant retinal sub-volumes.
  • A geometric active contour model is employed for automatic detection and segmentation of GA within these projection images.
  • The method was evaluated on two datasets comprising 55 and 56 SD-OCT scans from patients with GA.

Main Results:

  • The proposed semi-automated algorithm demonstrated high segmentation accuracy for geographic atrophy (GA).
  • Mean overlap ratios achieved were 72.60% with manual SD-OCT outlines and 65.88% with manual fundus auto-fluorescence (FAF) outlines.
  • Performance was superior to a commercial software's mean overlap ratio of 59.83% with FAF outlines.

Conclusions:

  • The developed semi-automated GA segmentation algorithm offers a promising tool for accurate and efficient analysis of GA in SD-OCT images.
  • This method has the potential to improve the monitoring of non-exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and support clinical research.
