Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and systems for automated detection of shadow artifacts in optical coherence tomography (OCT) and/or OCT angiography (OCTA). The shadow detection includes applying a machine-learning algorithm to the OCT dataset and the OCTA dataset to detect one or more shadow artifacts in the sample. The machine-learning algorithm is trained with first training data from first training samples that include manufactured shadows and no perfusion defects and second training data from second training samples that include perfusion defects and no manufactured shadows. The shadow artifacts in the OCTA dataset and/or OCT dataset may be suppressed to generate a shadow-suppressed OCTA dataset and/or a shadow-suppressed OCT dataset, respectively. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
