New AI model fuses features for improved coronary artery stenosis detection

Researchers have developed a novel deep learning framework called Fusion-YOLOv11-L for detecting coronary artery stenosis in X-ray angiography. This hybrid model integrates a YOLOv11-L detector with a UNet++ segmentation network, leveraging channel attention gating to fuse semantic and structural features. The UNet++ component is pre-trained on the ARCADE vessel segmentation dataset to enhance anatomical understanding. Experiments on the ARCADE* dataset demonstrated improved performance, achieving an AP@50 of 0.585 and an F1-score of 0.596, outperforming the standalone YOLOv11-L. The framework also showed improved generalizability on the OxAMI Study dataset through test-time adaptation and augmentation techniques. AI

IMPACT This model could improve the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosing coronary artery disease, potentially leading to earlier interventions.

    Cross-Architectural Feature Fusion for Coronary Artery Stenosis Detection in X-ray Angiography

    arXiv:2610.32730v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Coronary artery disease remains a leading cause of mortality, with stenosis detection from invasive X-ray Coronary Angiography (XCA) critical for diagnosis. Manual interpretation is time-consuming, subjective, and variable, especial…
