Researchers have developed SCINTILLA-SNN, a novel 3D spiking neural network designed for predicting perineural invasion (PNI) in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This network utilizes a hierarchical backbone and a Multi-Scale Spike Aggregation (MSSA) module to selectively identify subtle PNI-related evidence, which is often diluted by standard CNN and transformer architectures. Experiments on a cohort of 182 patients demonstrated that SCINTILLA-SNN achieved an AUROC of 0.748 and significantly reduced inference energy consumption by over 23 times compared to traditional dense computation methods.
