SD-OCT CSC NRD Region Segmentation Based on Region Restricted 3D Region Growing

Abstract

Abstract: It is important to segment neurosensory retianl detachment (NRD) of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) region,because the volume of CSC region plays a very important role in the diagnosis and study of CSC,while NRD is the most common and serious situation in CSC.The paper presented an automated spatial-domain optical cohe-rence tomography (SD-OCT) NRD segmentation method,which firstly segments NRD lesion in 3D space.And the segmentation of lesion in two-dimensional images is transformed into three-dimensional space segmentation problem,which makes full use of the three-dimensional structure information of data and improves the segmentation precision.The experiment results with 18 SD-OCT cubes indicate that the proposed method can segment the NRD accurately,and the average area coverage is as high as 89.5%.Compared to other four segmentation methods,the proposed algorithm achieves the highest accuracy and costs the least time,which has great advantages in clinical application and research.
