ImageCAS dataset enhanced with coronary ostia landmarks and centerline graphs

Researchers have enhanced the ImageCAS dataset, a large collection for coronary artery segmentation, by adding annotations for coronary ostia and rooted centerline graphs. This expansion makes ImageCAS the most extensive public dataset for ostium localization and the only one featuring centerlines aligned with official ImageCAS masks and starting at the new ostia annotations. The study benchmarks six 3D localization models, with SwinUNETR-V2 and nnResUNet demonstrating high accuracy in localizing all ostia, significantly improving performance when trained on the augmented ImageCAS dataset.
