    Retina (Philadelphia, Pa.)·2025

    This study introduces a novel, lightweight simulation for generating realistic Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) images, improving blood vessel segmentation. The enhanced method accurately captures fine capillaries, advancing OCTA-based diagnostics.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) provides high-resolution retinal vasculature imaging for disease diagnosis.
    • Accurate segmentation of blood vessels is crucial for extracting quantitative biomarkers from OCTA data.
    • Current deep learning segmentation methods are limited by the lack of large, annotated OCTA datasets.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a more realistic and efficient OCTA image synthesis method.
    • To improve the domain adaptation between synthetic and real OCTA images for better segmentation.
    • To enhance the segmentation of the smallest retinal capillaries, which are often missed by existing techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • A lightweight space colonization algorithm was used for realistic retinal vascular network simulation.

  • Three contrast adaptation pipelines were introduced to bridge the domain gap between synthetic and real images.
  • The developed pipeline was evaluated on three public datasets, comparing against traditional and supervised methods.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed simulation method generates more faithful and faster OCTA images compared to previous approaches.
    • Contrast adaptation pipelines significantly reduced the domain gap, improving segmentation performance.
    • The method demonstrated superior quantitative and qualitative segmentation results, particularly for small capillaries.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed OCTA synthesis and segmentation pipeline offers a significant advancement for analyzing retinal vasculature.
    • This approach overcomes limitations of existing methods, enabling more comprehensive biomarker extraction.
    • The public release of the pipeline, code, and dataset will facilitate further research in OCTA image analysis.
