New dataset and Mamba network advance retinal vessel segmentation

Researchers have introduced WOIVES, the first public dataset for ultra-widefield swept-source OCTA vessel segmentation, featuring 206 eyes and a 24x20mm^2 field of view. They also developed PG-Mamba, a visual state space model that uses polar-coordinate scan orders and dynamic FOV gating. PG-Mamba demonstrated superior performance over seven other methods in cross-validation, achieving the lowest median absolute errors for key vascular analysis metrics. AI

IMPACT Advances retinal vessel segmentation capabilities, potentially improving diagnostic tools for eye conditions.

    An Ultra-Widefield Swept-Source OCTA Dataset and a Polar-Gated Mamba Network for Retinal Vessel Segmentation

    arXiv:2609.12574v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ultra-widefield (UWF) swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) enables large-area retinal vascular imaging, yet vessel segmentation at this scale lacks dedicated public benchmarks and comprehensive evaluation …
