Simultaneous Segmentation of Geographic Atrophy in Longitudinally Acquired Fundus Autofluorescence Images
Accurately measuring geographic atrophy (GA) progression in clinical trials is challenging, owing to its slow and variable nature. This study develops deep learning algorithms that can measure GA growth rates with improved accuracy and robustness, by performing automated annotation of pre-existing versus newly expanding GA regions, based on simultaneous grading of fundus … [Read more...] about Simultaneous Segmentation of Geographic Atrophy in Longitudinally Acquired Fundus Autofluorescence Images
