Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Detection of retinal laser lesions is necessary in both the evaluation of the extent of damage from high power laser sources, and in validating treatments involving the placement of laser lesions. However, such lesions are difficult to detect using Color Fundus cameras alone. Deep learning-based segmentation can remedy this, by highlighting potential lesions in the image.
