Multi-task Convolutional Neural Networks for the End-to-end Simultaneous Segmentation and Screening of the Epiretinal Membrane in OCT Images

3 pagesPublished: February 16, 2023

Abstract

The Epiretinal Membrane (ERM) is an ocular pathology that causes visual distortion. In order to detect and treat the ERM, ophthalmologists visually inspect Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images.This is a costly and subjective process. In this work, we present three different fully automatic, end-to-end approaches that make use of multi-task learning to simultaneously screen for and segment ERM symptoms in OCT images. These approaches were implemented into three architectures that capitalise on the way the models share a single architecture for the two complementary tasks.

Keyphrases: computer aided diagnosis, deep learning, epiretinal membrane, multi task learning, optical coherence tomography
