vesselFM-CT: Segmenting All Blood Vessels in CT Images for System-Level Cardiovascular Analysis
Researchers have developed vesselFM-CT, a novel model designed to segment all blood vessels within CT images. This advancement aims to overcome the limitations of previous studies that focused on isolated vascular segments, enabling a more comprehensive analysis of the entire cardiovascular system. The model utilizes an iterative training process and a new TubeLoss function to handle the diverse structural variations of blood vessels, from large arteries to minuscule mesenteric vessels. AI
IMPACT Enables comprehensive cardiovascular system analysis from CT scans, potentially improving disease classification and understanding of vascular physiology.
