As a leading cause of blindness worldwide, macular edema (ME) is mainly determined by sub-retinal fluid (SRF), intraretinal fluid (IRF), and pigment epithelial detachment (PED) accumulation, and therefore, the characterization of SRF, IRF, and PED, which is also known as ME segmentation, has become a crucial issue in ophthalmology. Due to the subjective and time-consuming nature of ME segmentation in retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) images, automatic computer-aided systems are highly desired in clinical practice. This paper proposes a novel loss-balanced parallel decoding network, namely PadNet, for ME segmentation. Specifically, PadNet mainly consists of an encoder and three parallel decoder modules, which serve as segmentation, contour, and diffusion branches, and they are employed to extract the ME's characteristics, the contour area features, and to expand the ME area from the center to edge, respectively. A new loss-balanced joint-loss function with three components corresponding to each of the three parallel decoding branches is also devised for training. Experiments are conducted with three public datasets to verify the effectiveness of PadNet, and the performances of PadNet are compared with those of five state-of-the-art methods. Results show that PadNet improves ME segmentation accuracy by 8.1%, 11.1%, 0.6%, 1.4% and 8.3%, as compared with UNet, sASPP, MsTGANet, YNet, RetiFluidNet, respectively, which convincingly demonstrates that the proposed PadNet is robust and effective in ME segmentation in different cases.
