ARCOS: Zero-shot Boundary Localization for Corneal Layer Segmentation Across Optical Coherence Tomography Devices

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

ARCOS is a patch-based zero-shot boundary localization framework designed for corneal layer segmentation in optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. It predicts boundary heatmaps from overlapping native-resolution patches, stitches these predictions across full B-scans, and refines them with a self-conditioned module to produce continuous, anatomically ordered layer segmentations. Evaluated on clinical OCT data from multiple devices, ARCOS achieved 95.1% off‑by‑one boundary accuracy on matched-device tests and 84.3% on unseen devices, with low mean absolute boundary errors and accurate thickness estimates.

Automated 2D and 3D Segmentation of AMD and DME Lesions in OCT

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.

LENS-GRF: Permutation-Invariant Lesion Evidence Network with Gated Residual Fusion for Acne Severity Grading and Multi-Rater Clinical Oracle Analysis

LENS‑GRF is a permutation‑invariant lesion evidence network that uses a Set‑Transformer and gated residual fusion to combine global facial context with localized lesion patches for four‑class acne severity grading. The framework integrates adaptive facial skin segmentation, a Vision Transformer prior, and a lesion set transformer that encodes spatial geometry, with a gating mechanism that modulates local residual contributions. In experiments on ACNE04 and PLSBRACNE01, the fully automated model achieved 80.82% accuracy, while using ground‑truth lesion annotations raised accuracy to 95.89% and a Quadratic Weighted Kappa of 0.9753; zero‑shot evaluation on the full cohort yielded 35.00% accuracy versus 42.50% for a global baseline, and oracle analyses on a 148‑subject cohort showed improved accuracy and QWK up to 47.97% and 0.5799.

DualDiT: A Conditional Dual-Output Diffusion Transformer for Joint OCT Image and Segmentation Mask Generation

arXiv:2607. 29337v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Background and Objective: Generating realistic medical images with anatomically accurate segmentation masks helps address the shortage of annotated data in medical imaging, particularly in optical coherence tomography (OCT) of mouse eyes, where manual retinal layer delineation is labour-intensive due to tiny structures and required expertise, resulting in scarce datasets.
