Self-training boosts coronary vessel segmentation in X-ray angiography

Researchers have developed a self-training method to improve the segmentation of coronary vessels in X-ray angiography, particularly for data from centers not included in the initial training set. By using pseudo-labels generated from a pre-trained nnU-Net model and a pre-contrast frame subtraction technique, the models showed improved performance on external datasets like XCAD. The effectiveness of this self-training approach is highly dependent on the quality of the initial pseudo-labels generated by the model. AI

IMPACT Enhances medical imaging analysis by improving model generalization to new datasets without additional manual annotation.

    Self-training for cross-centre coronary vessel segmentation in X-ray angiography using pre-contrast frame subtraction

    arXiv:2610.40302v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep learning models for coronary vessel segmentation in X-ray angiography often perform poorly on data from centres that were not represented in training. Apart from differences in equipment, the labels of the largest public data…
