- 适合临床部署,尤其适用于缺乏标注资源的机构。
可靠的OCT影像自动化分析对诊断视网膜疾病至关重要,但面临标注成本高、耗时长的瓶颈。监督学习模型因依赖标注异常样本,难以在不同病理类型、设备和人群间泛化。本文提出一种无监督异常检测框架,通过在正常B-scan上训练离散潜在模型,捕捉OCT特有的结构模式,结合视网膜分层监督与结构化三元组学习,有效分离健康与病变表征。推理时基于重建差异实现图像级与像素级异常检测,无需疾病特定标签。在Kermany数据集上达到AUROC 0.799,显著超越VAE、VQVAE、VQGAN和f-AnoGAN。跨数据集测试于Srinivasan数据集获AUROC 0.884,展现强域适应能力;在外部RETOUCH基准上,无监督分割获得Dice 0.200、mIoU 0.117,验证多中心可复现性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Reliable automated analysis of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging is crucial for diagnosing retinal disorders but faces a critical barrier: the need for expensive, labor-intensive expert annotations. Supervised deep learning models struggle to generalize across diverse pathologies, imaging devices, and patient populations due to their restricted vocabulary of annotated abnormalities. We propose an unsupervised anomaly detection framework that learns the normative distribution of healthy retinal anatomy without lesion annotations, directly addressing annotation efficiency challenges in clinical deployment. Our approach leverages a discrete latent model trained on normal B-scans to capture OCT-specific structural patterns. To enhance clinical robustness, we incorporate retinal layer-aware supervision and structured triplet learning to separate healthy from pathological representations, improving model reliability across varied imaging conditions. During inference, anomalies are detected and localized via reconstruction discrepancies, enabling both image and pixel-level identification without requiring disease-specific labels. On the Kermany dataset (AUROC: 0.799), our method substantially outperforms VAE, VQVAE, VQGAN, and f-AnoGAN baselines. Critically, cross-dataset evaluation on Srinivasan achieves AUROC 0.884 with superior generalization, demonstrating robust domain adaptation. On the external RETOUCH benchmark, unsupervised anomaly segmentation achieves competitive Dice (0.200) and mIoU (0.117) scores, validating reproducibility across institutions.
