Abstract

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Accurate and efficient three-dimensional visualization of cerebral vasculature is essential for clinical evaluation; however, manual vessel extraction from time-of-flight (TOF) magnetic resonance angiography angiography (MRA) is time-consuming and operator-dependent. This study aimed to develop a deep learning-based cerebrovascular segmentation model and an automated vess…
