Researchers have developed a novel hybrid CNN-Mamba network called Polygon-mamba for segmenting small retinal vessels, a task crucial for diagnosing eye diseases. The model incorporates a polygon scanning visual state space model (PS-VSS) to better preserve the connectivity of small vessels, addressing limitations of traditional horizontal-vertical scanning. Additionally, a space-frequency collaborative attention mechanism (SFCAM) is used to enhance feature extraction by integrating spatial and frequency domain information. Tested on three public datasets, Polygon-mamba achieved competitive performance with F1 scores around 0.828 and AUC values near 0.98. AI
