This study presents four deep‑learning pipelines—two‑dimensional and three‑dimensional—for segmenting age‑related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME) lesions in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. The models achieve Dice scores between 0.76 and 0.82 and demonstrate strong volumetric and surface calibration (r_vol, r_surf ≥ 0.97) on an in‑domain validation set. Generalization was assessed on the OLIVES clinical cohort using proxy metrics such as biomarker AUROC, central subfield thickness correlation, and longitudinal concordance, showing that the predictions still track clinical biomarkers outside the training distribution, albeit with reduced strength.

OptiModNet is a lightweight UNet‑Transformer hybrid designed for optic disc and cup segmentation. It incorporates grouped‑query and channel attention across multiple stages, along with an Aggregated Pyramid Loss to improve gradient flow and structural consistency. Evaluated on the REFUGE2 dataset, it surpasses existing methods by over 2.5 % while using only 3.73 GFLOPs and 1.93 M parameters.

The paper presents a two‑pipeline framework for retinal fundus analysis that combines four‑class disease classification with vessel segmentation. It fine‑tunes eight ImageNet‑pretrained CNNs on the FIVES dataset, applies five gradient‑based explanation methods to assess model interpretability, and benchmarks ten U‑Net variants—including transformer‑based and attention‑enhanced architectures—on the FIVES and DRIVE datasets. The best classification results come from ResNet101 (94.17% accuracy), while the strongest segmentation performance is achieved by Attention U‑Net with a ResNet101V2 backbone, improving DRIVE IoU from 60.80% to 64.83%.
