    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Computational Biology

    Background:

    • Accurate identification of retinal layer boundaries is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring various eye diseases.
    • Existing methods struggle with pathologies and morphological changes that distort retinal anatomy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an effective automatic method for identifying four retinal layer boundaries using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images.
    • To ensure the method's robustness in the presence of pathologies and disease-induced morphological changes.

    Main Methods:

    • The proposed approach locates reference layers first to define a search space for target layers.
    • Retinal layer boundary identification is modeled as a graph problem solved using Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm.
    • Edge weights incorporate pixel distance, slope similarity, and layer non-associativity to handle pathological distortions.

    Main Results:

    • The method was validated on three independent datasets, outperforming five state-of-the-art techniques.
    • Achieved a mean ± standard deviation root-mean-square error of 1.57 ± 0.69 pixels, significantly lower than existing methods (ranging from 2.29 ± 1.54 to 16.17 ± 22.64 pixels).

    Conclusions:

    • The developed method is highly accurate, robust, reliable, and consistent for retinal layer boundary identification.
    • Enables quantification of retinal biomarkers for large-scale studies, disease progression assessment, and early detection of retinal diseases.
