摘要:
Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) has revolutionized non-invasive, high-resolution imaging of blood vessels. However, the challenge of tail artifacts in OCTA images persists. In response, we present the Tail Artifact Removal via Transmittance Effect Subtraction (TAR-TES) algorithm that effectively mitigates these artifacts. Through a simple physics-based model, the TAR-TES accounts for variations in transmittance within the shallow layers with the vasculature, resulting in the removal of tail artifacts in deeper layers after the vessel. Comparative evaluations with alternative correction methods demonstrate that TAR-TES excels in eliminating these artifacts while preserving the essential integrity of vasculature images. Crucially, the success of the TAR-TES is closely linked to the precise adjustment of a weight constant, underlining the significance of individual dataset parameter optimization. In conclusion, TAR-TES emerges as a powerful tool for enhancing OCTA image quality and reliability in both clinical and research settings, promising to reshape the way we visualize and analyze intricate vascular networks within biological tissues. Further validation across diverse datasets is essential to unlock the full potential of this physics-based solution.
