近视引起的后极部重塑常伴随视盘(OD)变形和视盘周围萎缩(PPA),二者均为重要临床结构生物标志物。但在笛卡尔坐标眼底图像中,PPA常表现为紧邻视盘的不规则、部分可见的新月形,导致分割碎片化且量化依赖后处理。本文提出UPolarSQ,一种统一的极坐标域框架,用于近视眼底图像中视盘/视盘周围萎缩的分割与生物标志物量化。该方法首先将以视盘为中心的感兴趣区域映射至极坐标系,使视盘与PPA边界可表示为径向轮廓。随后引入基于U-Net的分割网络UPolarSeg,其融合径向-角度解耦模块与边界感知辅助监督,有效建模各向异性极坐标特征及径向边界变化。从预测的极坐标掩码中可确定性提取临床生物标志物,包括视盘形状、与PPA宽度相关的测量值,实现分割与量化在统一几何表示下的协同。内部与外部队列实验表明,UPolarSQ显著提升视盘/视盘周围萎缩分割性能,并支持可靠的极坐标原生生物标志物估计,适用于近视相关分析。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Myopia-induced posterior-pole remodeling is frequently accompanied by Optic Disc (OD) deformation and Peripapillary Atrophy (PPA), both of which provide clinically relevant structural biomarkers. In Cartesian fundus images, however, PPA often appears as an irregular and partially visible crescent adjacent to the OD, leading to fragmented segmentation and post-processing-dependent quantification. We propose UPolarSQ, a unified polar-domain framework for OD/PPA segmentation and biomarker quantification in myopic fundus images. UPolarSQ first maps an OD-centered region of interest into polar coordinates, where OD and PPA boundaries can be represented as radial profiles. It then employs UPolarSeg, a U-Net-based segmentation network enhanced with a Radial-Angular-Decoupled Module and boundary-aware auxiliary supervision to model anisotropic polar features and radial boundary transitions. Clinical biomarkers, including disc shape and PPA-width-related measurements, are deterministically extracted from the predicted polar masks, aligning segmentation and quantification within a shared geometric representation. Experiments on internal and external cohorts demonstrate that UPolarSQ improves OD/PPA segmentation and supports reliable polar-native biomarker estimation for myopic analysis.
