Anatomical Conditioning for Contrastive Unpaired Image-to-Image Translation of Optical Coherence Tomography Images

For a unified analysis of medical images from different modalities, data harmonization using image-to-image (I2I) translation is desired. We study this problem employing an optical coherence tomography (OCT) data set of Spectralis-OCT and Home-OCT images. I2I translation is challenging because the images are unpaired, and a bijective mapping does not exist due to the information discrepancy between both domains. This problem has been addressed by the Contrastive Learning for Unpaired I2I Translation (CUT) approach, but it reduces semantic consistency. To restore the semantic consistency, we support the style decoder using an additional segmentation decoder. Our approach increases the similarity between the style-translated images and the target distribution. Importantly, we improve the segmentation of biomarkers in Home-OCT images in an unsupervised domain adaptation scenario. Our data harmonization approach provides potential for the monitoring of diseases, e.g., age related macular disease, using different OCT devices..
