Researchers have developed ArteryX, a new toolbox designed to standardize the extraction of intracranial artery features from 3D TOF-MRA scans. This system aims to improve cerebrovascular research by addressing limitations in existing pipelines, such as inconsistent artery labeling and the high manual correction burden. ArteryX integrates segmentation handling, vessel-fused graph construction, and landmark-based classification to extract morphological, topological, and complexity features, offering a reproducible workflow for standardized artery-segment analysis. Comparative studies showed ArteryX to have minimal bias and robust quantification performance, outperforming the state-of-the-art iCafe-toolbox in terms of bias, agreement, and human-in-the-loop intervention time.
