• Abstract: Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a noninvasive imaging technique that can reveal high-resolution retinal vessels. In this work, we propose an accurate and efficient neural network for retinal vessel segmentation in OCTA images. The proposed network achieves accuracy comparable to other SOTA methods, while having fewer parameters and faster inference speed (e.g. 110x lighter and 1.3x faster than U-Net), which is very friendly for industrial applications. This is achieved by applying the modified Recurrent ConvNeXt Block to a full resolution convolutional network. In addition, we create a new dataset containing 918 OCTA images and their corresponding vessel annotations. The data set is semi-automatically annotated with the help of Segment Anything Model (SAM), which greatly improves the annotation speed. For the benefit of the community, our code and dataset can be obtained from https://github.com/nhjydywd/OCTA-FRNet.

  We present a novel two-stream feature fusion "Tensor-Convolution and Convolution-Transformer Network" (TCCT-Net) architecture. To better learn the meaningful patterns in the temporal-spatial domain, we design a "CT" stream that integrates a hybrid convolutional-transformer. In parallel, to efficiently extract rich patterns from the temporal-frequency domain, we introduce a "TC" stream that uses Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) to represent information in a 2D tensor form.

  Automatic blood vessel extraction from 3D medical images is crucial for vascular disease diagnoses. Existing methods may suffer from discontinuities of extracted vessels when segmenting such thin tubular structures from 3D images. We argue that preserving the continuity of extracted vessels requires to take into account the global geometry. We propose a hybrid representation learning approach to address this challenge.
