Researchers have developed D$^2$Mamba, a novel deep learning model designed for segmenting small and irregularly shaped lesions in retinal images, specifically for diabetic retinopathy. This model integrates non-causal state space duality with deformable Mamba scanning to better capture global context and adapt to lesion shapes. In evaluations on the DDR dataset, D$^2$Mamba outperformed existing segmentation baselines, achieving a 2.99 percentage point improvement in mIoU and a significant 10.06 percentage point gain in Dice score for microaneurysms, the smallest and most easily missed lesions.
