Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Automated, anatomically coherent retinal layer segmentation in optical coherence tomography (OCT) is one of the most important components of retinal disease management. However, current methods rely on large amounts of labeled data, which can be difficult and expensive to obtain. In addition, these systems tend often propose anatomically impossible results, which undermi…
