Geographic atrophy segmentation in SD-OCT images using synthesized fundus autofluorescence imaging

摘要

Background and objective: Accurate assessment of geographic atrophy (GA) is critical for diagnosis and therapy of non-exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Herein, we propose a novel GA segmentation framework for spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images that employs synthesized fundus autofluorescence (FAF) images.
