Automatic Segmentation of the Optic Nerve Head Region in Optical Coherence Tomography: A Methodological Review
The optic nerve head represents the intraocular section of the optic nerve (ONH), which is prone to damage by intraocular pressure. The advent of optical coherence tomography (OCT) has enabled the evaluation of novel optic nerve head parameters, namely the depth and curvature of the lamina cribrosa (LC). Together with the Bruch's membrane opening minimum-rim-width, these seem to be promising optic nerve head parameters for diagnosis and monitoring of retinal diseases such as glaucoma. Nonetheless, these optical coherence tomography derived biomarkers are mostly extracted through manual segmentation, which is time-consuming and prone to bias, thus limiting their usability in clinical practice. The automatic segmentation of optic nerve head in OCT scans could further improve the current clinical management of glaucoma and other diseases. This review summarizes the current state-of-the-art in automatic segmentation of the ONH in OCT. PubMed and Scopus were used to perform a systematic review. Additional works from other databases (IEEE, Google Scholar and ARVO IOVS) were also included, resulting in a total of 27 reviewed studies. For each algorithm, the methods, the size and type of dataset used for validation, and the respective results were carefully analyzed. The results show that deep learning-based algorithms provide the highest accuracy, sensitivity and specificity for segmenting the different structures of the ONH including the LC. However, a lack of consensus regarding the definition of segmented regions, extracted parameters and validation approaches has been observed, highlighting the importance and need of standardized methodologies for ONH segmentation.
