We developed a single process that successfully removed both noise and retinal shadows from unseen single-frame B-scans within 10.4ms. Mean average gradient magnitude (AGM) for the proposed algorithm was 57.2% higher than current state-of-the-art, while mean peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), contrast to noise ratio (CNR), and structural similarity index metric (SSIM) increased by 11.1%, 154% and 187% respectively compared to single-frame B-scans. Mean intralayer contrast (ILC) improvement for the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), photoreceptor layer (PR) and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) layers decreased from 0.362 plusmn; 0.133 to 0.142 ± 0.102, 0.449 ± 0.116 to 0.0904 ± 0.0769, 0.381 ± 0.100 to 0.0590 ± 0.0451 respectively. The proposed algorithm reduces the necessity for long image acquisition times, minimizes expensive hardware requirements and reduces motion artifacts in OCT images. © 2021 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing Agreement. | Source Title: | Biomedical Optics Express | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/232132 | ISSN: | 2156-7085 | DOI: | 10.1364/boe.412156 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
