Abstract

Albeit optical coherence imaging (OCT) is widely used to assess ophthalmic pathologies, localization of intra-retinal boundaries suffers from erroneous segmentations due to image artifacts or topological abnormalities. Although deep learning-based methods have been effectively applied in OCT imaging, accurate automated layer segmentation remains a challenging task, with the flexibility and precision of most methods being highly constrained. In this paper, we propose a novel method to segment all retinal layers, tailored to the bio-topological OCT geometry. In addition to traditional learning of shift-invariant features, our method learns in selected pixels horizontally and vertically, exploiting the orientation of the extracted features. In this way, the most discriminative retinal features are generated in a robust manner, while long-range pixel dependencies across spatial locations are efficiently captured. To validate the effectiveness and generalisation of our method, we implement three sets of networks based on different backbone models. Results on three independent studies show that our methodology consistently produces more accurate segmentations than state-of-the-art networks, and shows better precision and agreement with ground truth. Thus, our method not only improves segmentation, but also enhances the statistical power of clinical trials with layer thickness change outcomes.
