FAZSeg: A New User-Friendly Software for Quantification of the Foveal Avascular Zone
This provides a tool for researchers and clinicians to quantify FAZ dimensions, which is important for studying ocular diseases and high myopia, but it is incremental as it builds on existing segmentation concepts.
The paper tackles the lack of automated tools for segmenting the Foveal Avascular Zone (FAZ) in the deep retinal layer by developing FAZSeg, a new open-access software with a user-friendly GUI, and compares its results with manual segmentation ground truth.
Various ocular diseases and high myopia influence the anatomical reference point Foveal Avascular Zone (FAZ) dimensions. Therefore, it is important to segment and quantify the FAZs dimensions accurately. To the best of our knowledge, there is no automated tool or algorithms available to segment the FAZ's deep retinal layer. The paper describes a new open-access software with a user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) and compares the results with the ground truth (manual segmentation).
