AMD-SD: An Optical Coherence Tomography Image Dataset for wet AMD Lesions Segmentation.

ABSTRACT

Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (wet AMD) is a common ophthalmic disease that significantly impacts patients' vision. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination has been widely utilized for diagnosing, treating, and monitoring wet AMD due to its cost-effectiveness, non-invasiveness, and repeatability, positioning it as the most valuable tool for diagnosis and tracking. OCT can provide clear visualization of retinal layers and precise segmentation of lesion areas, facilitating the identification and quantitative analysis of abnormalities. However, the lack of high-quality datasets for assessing wet AMD has impeded the advancement of related algorithms. To address this issue, we have curated a comprehensive wet AMD OCT Segmentation Dataset (AMD-SD), comprising 3049 B-scan images from 138 patients, each annotated with five segmentation labels subretinal fluid, intraretinal fluid, ellipsoid zone continuity, subretinal hyperreflective material, and pigment epithelial detachment. This dataset presents a valuable opportunity to investigate the accuracy and reliability of various segmentation algorithms for wet AMD, offering essential data support for developing AI-assisted clinical applications targeting wet AMD.
