AbstractPurposeDiabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common diseases caused by diabetes and can lead to vision loss or even blindness. The wide‐field optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography is non‐invasive imaging technology and convenient to diagnose DR.MethodsA newly constructed Retinal OCT‐Angiography Diabetic retinopathy (ROAD) dataset is utilized for segmentation and grading tasks. It contains 1200 normal images, 1440 DR images, and 1440 ground truths for DR image segmentation. To handle the problem of grading DR, we propose a novel and effective framework, named projective map attention‐based convolutional neural network (PACNet).ResultsThe experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our PACNet. The accuracy of the proposed framework for grading DR is 87.5% on the ROAD dataset.ConclusionsThe information on ROAD can be viewed at URL https://mip2019.github.io/ROAD. The ROAD dataset will be helpful for the development of the early detection of DR field and future research.Translational RelevanceThe novel framework for grading DR is a valuable research and clinical diagnosis method.
