Title
Automatic Segmentation of Diffuse Retinal Thickening Edemas Using Optical Coherence Tomography Images.
Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of vision impairment that is commonly associated to the Macular Edema (ME) disease. The Diffuse Retinal Thickening (DRT) is a ME type derived from the local intraretinal fluid accumulation in the lower retinal layers, producing significant morphological alterations in the eye fundus. The presence and properties of these intraretinal fluids are used by the ophthalmologists as significant indicators of the clinical stage of the ME disease. Given that, the precise identification and segmentation of the DRT edema type allow the early diagnosis of the ME disease which, therefore, permits a better adjustment of the treatments, reducing their costs as well as improving the life quality of the patients.
