ChoroidNET: A Dense Dilated U-Net Model for Choroid Layer and Vessel Segmentation in Optical Coherence Tomography Images

Understanding the changes in choroidal thickness and vasculature is important to monitor the development and progression of various ophthalmic diseases. Accurate segmentation of the choroid layer and choroidal vessels is critical to better analyze and understand the choroidal changes. In this study,...
