Fully-automated atrophy segmentation in dry age-related macular degeneration in optical coherence tomography

Abstract Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive retinal disease, causing vision loss. A more detailed characterization of its atrophic form became possible thanks to the introduction of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). However, manual atrophy quantification in 3D retinal scans is...
