Abstract
PURPOSE: Robotic ophthalmic microsurgery has significant potential to help improve the success of challenging procedures and overcome the physical limitations of the surgeon. Intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT) has been reported for the visualisation of ophthalmic surgical manoeuvres, where deep learning methods can be used for real-time tissue segmentation and surgical tool tracking. However, many of these methods rely heavily on labelled datasets, where producing annotated segmentation datasets is a time-consuming and tedious task. METHODS: To address this challenge, we propose a robust and efficient semi-supervised method for boundary segmentation in retinal OCT to guide a robotic surgical system. The proposed method uses U-Net as the base model and implements a pseudo-labelling strategy which combines the labelled data with unlabelled OCT scans during training. After training, the model is optimised and accelerated with the use of TensorRT. RESULTS: Compared with fully supervised learning, the pseudo-labelling method can improve the generalisability of the model and show better performance for unseen data from a different distribution using only 2% of labelled training samples. The accelerated GPU inference takes less than 1 millisecond per frame with FP16 precision. CONCLUSION: Our approach demonstrates the potential of using pseudo-labelling strategies in real-time OCT segmentation tasks to guide robotic systems. Furthermore, the accelerated GPU inference of our network is highly promising for segmenting OCT images and guiding the position of a surgical tool (e.g. needle) for sub-retinal injections.
