Automated diagnosis of macular edema and central serous retinopathy through robust reconstruction of 3D retinal surfaces

• This paper proposes a novel approach to automatically diagnose Macular Edema (ME), Central Serous Retinopathy (CSR) and healthy pathologies from Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) volumes through robust reconstruction of 3D OCT retinal surfaces.• To the best of our knowledge, this paper propos es a first ever novel approach to incorporate 3D OCT volumes to automatically diagnose and screen ME, CSR and healthy subjects.• The proposed method is fully automated and it uses a Support Vector Machine (SVM) based multilevel classification system to diagnose all the three types of macular patho logies from OCT volumes.
