用主动学习提升眼底扫描分割精度,助力糖尿病视网膜病变分级

Comprehensive Evaluation of OCT-based Automated Segmentation of Retinal Layer, Fluid and Hyper-Reflective Foci: Impact on Clinical Assessment of Diabetic Retinopathy Severity

  • 基于主动学习与四种深度模型融合,自动分割视网膜层、积液和高反射病灶
  • SwinUNETR整体分割准确率最高(DSC=0.7719),不同分期病变有特异性结构变化
  • 结果可生成ETDRS地图,适合临床医生用于病情评估与治疗决策

糖尿病视网膜病变(DR)是致盲主因,需早期精准评估以避免不可逆损伤。频域光学相干断层扫描(SD-OCT)提供高分辨率视网膜图像,但自动化分割性能在复杂积液与高反射病灶(HRF)情况下差异显著。本研究提出一种基于主动学习的深度学习流程,使用四种先进模型(U-Net、SegFormer、SwinUNETR、VM-UNet)在专家标注的SD-OCT体积数据上训练,实现视网膜层、液体及HRF的自动分割。通过五折交叉验证评估分割精度,采用K近邻算法量化视网膜厚度,并生成早期治疗糖尿病视网膜病变研究(ETDRS)图谱。SwinUNETR总体表现最佳(DSC=0.7719;NSD=0.8149),VM-UNet在特定层段更优。非增殖期与增殖期DR间存在结构性差异,层段性增厚与视力下降相关。该框架可实现稳健、临床相关的DR评估,减少人工标注依赖,支持疾病监测与治疗规划。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision loss, requiring early and accurate assessment to prevent irreversible damage. Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) enables high-resolution retinal imaging, but automated segmentation performance varies, especially in cases with complex fluid and hyperreflective foci (HRF) patterns. This study proposes an active-learning-based deep learning pipeline for automated segmentation of retinal layers, fluid, and HRF, using four state-of-the-art models: U-Net, SegFormer, SwinUNETR, and VM-UNet, trained on expert-annotated SD-OCT volumes. Segmentation accuracy was evaluated with five-fold cross-validation, and retinal thickness was quantified using a K-nearest neighbors algorithm and visualized with Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) maps. SwinUNETR achieved the highest overall accuracy (DSC = 0.7719; NSD = 0.8149), while VM-UNet excelled in specific layers. Structural differences were observed between non-proliferative and proliferative DR, with layer-specific thickening correlating with visual acuity impairment. The proposed framework enables robust, clinically relevant DR assessment while reducing the need for manual annotation, supporting improved disease monitoring and treatment planning.
