VesselSim uses synthetic data for 3D blood vessel segmentation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed VesselSim, a novel framework for segmenting 3D blood vessels in medical images without requiring expert annotations. The system first generates synthetic angiographic volumes using a stochastic, geometry-driven simulation, then trains a 3D U-Net model exclusively on this synthetic data. A test-time adaptation strategy is employed to bridge the domain gap between synthetic and real images, enabling the model to perform competitively on clinical scans from MR and CT across different anatomical regions.
