Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Medical Imaging
Computational Biology

Background:

The choroid's vascular structure is vital for retinal physiology and ocular disease.
Existing methods struggle to differentiate inner choroidal structures like vessels and stroma.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a synergistic segmentation pipeline for choroid layer and choroid vessel analysis.
To introduce the choroidal U-shape network (CUNet) for improved choroidal segmentation.

Main Methods:

Proposed a multi-task learning strategy using the CUNet architecture.
Developed an adaptive multi-task segmentation loss to balance dual-task performance.
Implemented pixel-wise classification for choroid layer and vessel segmentation.

Main Results:

The CUNet pipeline demonstrated high performance with a 4% higher dice score.
Achieved reduced computational complexity with an 18.85 M lower model size.
The strategy showed strong generalization capabilities for both choroid layer and vessel segmentation.

Conclusions:

The proposed CUNet pipeline offers a significant advancement in choroidal segmentation.
The method's high performance and efficiency suggest considerable clinical potential for diagnosing and managing eye diseases.
