This study introduces a segmentation-driven domain adaptation method for retinal imaging processing, which utilizes CycleGAN to improve domain adaptation. A two-stage pipeline is proposed to train a segmentation model in the source domain and adapt the images from the target domain. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves improved segmentation performance and image quality.
Background: Medical images such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images acquired from different devices may show significantly different intensity profiles. An automatic segmentation model trained on images from one device may perform poorly when applied to images acquired using another device, resulting in a lack of generalizability. This study addresses this issue using domain adaptation methods improved by Cycle-Consistent Generative Adversarial Networks (CycleGAN), especially when the ground-truth labels are only available in the source domain.Methods: A two-stage pipeline is proposed to generate segmentation in the target domain. The first stage involves the training of a state-of-the-art segmentation model in the source domain. The second stage aims to adapt the images from the target domain to the source domain. The adapted target domain images are segmented using the model in the first stage. Ablation tests were performed with integration of different loss functions, and the statistical significance of these models is reported. Both the segmentation performance and the adapted image quality metrics were evaluated.Results: Regarding the segmentation Dice score, the proposed model ssppg achieves a significant improvement of 46.24% compared to without adaptation and reaches 87.4% of the upper limit of the segmentation performance. Furthermore, image quality metrics, including FID and KID scores, indicate that adapted images with better segmentation also have better image qualities. Conclusion: The proposed method demonstrates the effectiveness of segmentation-driven domain adaptation in retinal imaging processing. It reduces the labor cost of manual labeling, incorporates prior anatomic information to regulate and guide domain adaptation, and provides insights into improving segmentation qualities in image domains without labels.
