Abstract (arXiv)

The joint interpretation of multi-modal and multi-view fundus images is critical for retinopathy prevention, as different views can show the complete 3D eyeball field and different modalities can provide complementary lesion areas. Compared with single images, the sequence relationships in multi-modal and multi-view fundus images contain long-range dependencies in lesion features. By modeling the long-range dependencies in these sequences, lesion areas can be more comprehensively mined, and modality-specific lesions can be detected. To learn the long-range dependency relationship and fuse complementary multi-scale lesion features between different fundus modalities, we design a multi-modal fundus image fusion method based on multi-scale cross-attention, which solves the static receptive field problem in previous multi-modal medical fusion methods based on attention. To capture multi-view relative positional relationships between different views and fuse comprehensive lesion features between different views, we design a multi-view fundus image fusion method based on shifted window self-attention, which also solves the computational complexity of the multi-view fundus fusion method based on self-attention is quadratic to the size and number of multi-view fundus images. Finally, we design a multi-task retinopathy diagnosis framework to help ophthalmologists reduce workload and improve diagnostic accuracy by combining the proposed two fusion methods. The experimental results of retinopathy classification and report generation tasks indicate our method's potential to improve the efficiency and reliability of retinopathy diagnosis in clinical practice, achieving a classification accuracy of 82.53% and a report generation BlEU-1 of 0.543.
