Finding Cysts, Part Five: Final Detection

The goal is to automatically detect the appearance of Cystoid Macular Edema (CME) in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images. The deep learning technique used, Convolutional Neural Networks, takes as an input patches of pixels from within the retina. These patches were generated from previous segmentation of retinal images. A further segmentation of the retina is performed using an image processing algorithm called SLIC. Every superpixel thus generated, after being labeled as in the OCT scan, is fed into the neural network to detect the cyst.

Explaining OCT Scans

What are OCT Scans? Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging method, which produces high-resolution volumetric histological images of tissue. To penetrate deep into biological

Finding Cysts Part Four: Seed Detection

A series of five articles on our Cysts Detection project using deep learning and Convolutional Neural Networks: 1) our cyst detection method; 2) the cyst denoising process; 3) the retinal layer segmentation; 4) the automatical seed-detection; 5) the final detection of the cysts. Our method is exceptionally successful at finding the cysts themselves and most of their area. Remarkable results are achieved even when using relatively small datasets in the training process.
