Comprehensive 3D Optical Coherence Tomography Dataset for AMD and DME: Facilitating Deep-Learning-Based 3D Segmentation
Empowering Precision: AI for Ophthalmic Diagnostics
This scientific article introduces a novel 3D Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) dataset for Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and Diabetic Macular Edema (DME), coupled with a deep learning-based 3D segmentation network. The dataset comprises 224 volumetric images (122 AMD, 102 DME) meticulously annotated for pigment epithelial detachment (PED) and intraretinal fluid (IRF). The proposed network, utilizing a BiFormer Block, demonstrates superior performance in 3D lesion segmentation. This advancement significantly enhances quantitative analysis and disease management for these vision-threatening pathologies, addressing a critical gap in existing 3D datasets for ophthalmological AI.
