This study introduces a novel semi-supervised network (SPC-Net) for accurate retinal artery/vein classification. It effectively addresses challenges in deep learning for medical imaging, reducing the need for extensive labeled data.

Area of Science:

Medical Image Analysis
Deep Learning
Ophthalmology

Background:

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have advanced medical image analysis, particularly in retinal artery/vein (A/V) classification.
CNNs face challenges with tubular structures and limited labeled data for retinal vessel segmentation.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a novel semi-supervised point consistency network (SPC-Net) for improved retinal A/V classification.
To address the limitations of existing CNN-based methods in handling subtle structural variations and data scarcity.

Main Methods:

Developed SPC-Net with an A/V classification (AVC) module and a multi-class point consistency (MPC) module.
AVC module uses an encoder-decoder network for supervised learning.
MPC module employs point set representations for adaptive arteriovenous skeleton classification and point consistency to reduce confusion.

Keywords:

Artery/vein classification Deep learning Point consistency Retinal images Semi-supervised learning

Main Results:

SPC-Net demonstrated effectiveness in both supervised and semi-supervised learning settings.
Consistency regularization between predicted maps and point set representations reduced the need for annotated data.
Validated on public (DRIVE, HRF) and private (TR280) datasets, showing strong qualitative and quantitative results.

Conclusions:

The proposed SPC-Net effectively improves retinal A/V classification accuracy.
Semi-supervised learning with point consistency offers a viable solution for data-limited medical imaging tasks.
SPC-Net's approach is robust across datasets with varying resolutions.
