A multi-modal multi-branch framework for retinal vessel segmentation using ultra-widefield fundus photographs by Qihang Xie, Qihang Xie, Xuefei Li, Yuanyuan Li, Yuanyuan Li, Jiayi Lu, Jiayi Lu, Shaodong Ma, Yitian Zhao, Yitian Zhao, Jiong Zhang, Jiong Zhang

“…Within this field, Ultra-WideField (UWF) fundus images offer distinct advantages, including an expansive imaging range, detailed lesion data, and minimal adverse effects. However, the high resolution and low contrast inherent to UWF fundus images present significant challenges for accurate segmentation using deep learning methods, thereby complicating disease analysis in this context.MethodsTo address these issues, this study introduces M3B-Net, a novel multi-modal, multi-branch framework that leverages fundus fluorescence angiography (FFA) images to improve retinal vessel segmentation in UWF fundus images. …”
