Most of the intracranial aneurysms (ICA) occur on a specific portion of the cerebral vascular tree named the Circle of Willis (CoW). More particularly, they mainly arise onto fifteen of the major arterial bifurcations constituting this…
We hereby present a full synthetic model, able to mimic the various constituents of the cerebral vascular tree: the cerebral arteries, the bifurcations and the intracranial aneurysms. By building this model, our goal was to provide a…
The Circle of Willis (CoW) vessels is critical to connecting major circulations of the brain. The topology of the vascular structure is clinical significance to evaluate the risk, severity of the neuro-vascular diseases. The CoW has two…
The Circle of Willis (CoW) is an important network of arteries connecting major circulations of the brain. Its vascular architecture is believed to affect the risk, severity, and clinical outcome of serious neurovascular diseases. However,…
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is an imaging modality for visualising blood vessels. It is useful for several diagnostic applications and for assessing the risk of adverse events such as haemorrhagic stroke (resulting from the rupture…
Intracranial aneurysm rupture causes subarachnoid hemorrhage with mortality near 50%, making early detection critical. Although CTA enables rapid screening, detecting small aneurysms within the complex three-dimensional branching of the…
Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are abnormal dilations of cerebral blood vessels that, if ruptured, can lead to life-threatening consequences. However, their small size and soft contrast in radiological scans often make it difficult to perform…
Automatically labeling intracranial arteries (ICA) with their anatomical names is beneficial for feature extraction and detailed analysis of intracranial vascular structures. There are significant variations in the ICA due to natural and…
The Circle of Willis (CoW) is a critical network of arteries in the brain, often implicated in cerebrovascular pathologies. Voxel-level segmentation is an important first step toward an automated CoW assessment, but a full quantitative…
Intracranial aneurysms are common nowadays and how to detect them intelligently is of great significance in digital health. While most existing deep learning research focused on medical images in a supervised way, we introduce an…
During the diagnosis of ischemic strokes, the Circle of Willis and its surrounding vessels are the arteries of interest. Their visualization in case of an acute stroke is often enabled by Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA). Still, the…
The cerebrovascular tree is a complex anatomical structure that plays a crucial role in the brain irrigation. A precise identification of the bifurcations in the vascular network is essential for understanding various cerebral pathologies.…
The Circle of Willis (CoW), vital for ensuring consistent blood flow to the brain, is closely linked to ischemic stroke. Accurate assessment of the CoW is important for identifying individuals at risk and guiding appropriate clinical…
Accurate identification and quantification of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) is crucial for the risk assessment and treatment of this cerebrovascular disorder. Current 2D manual assessment on 3D magnetic resonance angiography…
Fast and accurate anatomical landmark detection can benefit many medical image analysis methods. Here, we propose a method to automatically detect anatomical landmarks in medical images. Automatic landmark detection is performed with a…
Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are generally asymptomatic and thus often discovered incidentally on angiographic scans like 3D DSA, CTA and MRA. Skilled radiologists achieved a sensitivity of 88% by means of visual detection, which seems…
Intrasaccular flow disruptors treat cerebral aneurysms by diverting the blood flow from the aneurysm sac. Residual flow into the sac after the intervention is a failure that could be due to the use of an undersized device, or to vascular…
Cerebrovascular disease is one of the major diseases facing the world today. Automatic segmentation of intracranial artery (IA) in digital subtraction angiography (DSA) sequences is an important step in the diagnosis of vascular related…
Intracranial aneurysms are a commonly occurring and life-threatening condition, affecting approximately 3.2% of the general population. Consequently, detecting these aneurysms plays a crucial role in their management. Lesion detection…
The determination of a coronary stenosis and its severity in current clinical workflow is typically accomplished manually via physician visual assessment (PVA) during invasive coronary angiography. While PVA has shown large inter-rater…
