Leptomeningeal Collateral Detection on DSA via Vessel-Graph Neural Networks
arXiv:2606. 14828v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Leptomeningeal collaterals (LMCs) are an important prognostic factor in acute ischemic stroke.
X‑LMC is a spatiotemporal deep‑learning framework that automatically scores leptomeningeal collateral (LMC) status from time‑resolved biplane digital subtraction angiography (DSA). It uses a DINOv2 backbone to encode spatial frames, a token‑level cross‑view attention module to fuse orthogonal projections, and a recurrent network to model contrast bolus dynamics. On a multicenter dataset of 134 M1‑segment occlusion patients, X‑LMC achieved a Quadratic Weighted Kappa of 0.398 and a macro‑F1 of 0.711, outperforming static and other spatiotemporal baselines and matching clinical inter‑rater agreement.

The paper introduces a bi‑temporal framework that links admission computed tomography perfusion (CTP) data with follow‑up diffusion‑weighted MRI (DWI) outcomes in acute ischemic stroke. By extracting statistical, radiomic, and deep‑learning features from CTP and classifying tissue into six outcome‑aware regions, the authors demonstrate that CTP signatures can distinguish salvaged versus infarcted penumbra and identify non‑hypoperfused tissue that later infarcts. Cross‑dataset validation on the ISLES'24 dataset confirms consistent feature‑space separations, suggesting that admission CTP contains richer outcome information than traditional core‑penumbra delineation.

Accurate coronary Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) vessel segmentation is essential for computer-aided diagnosis and treatment planning of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, thin low-contrast vessels, background interference, and severe vessel-background class imbalance make reliable segmentation of weak distal branches and vessel boundaries challenging.
This study presents a domain-aware deep learning framework based on nnU-Net for segmenting ischemic stroke lesions on non‑contrast CT scans and quantifying net water uptake (NWU). Trained on data from Hamburg and the Acute Ischemic Stroke Dataset, the model was fine‑tuned on small target‑domain subsets from Boston and ISLES, achieving median Dice scores of 0.68 and 0.56 for lesions ≥30 mL, and an NWU mean absolute error of 1.37 percentage points on the Boston cohort. The results demonstrate that target‑domain adaptation can enable accurate NCCT‑only infarct segmentation and low‑error NWU estimation across heterogeneous multicenter datasets.
The paper introduces a physics-informed deep learning framework that reconstructs 3D coronary geometry from dual-view angiography and predicts velocity and pressure fields using a decoupled network with embedded physical priors. Across 32 patients and four flow conditions, the model achieved a trans‑stenotic pressure‑drop error of 2.02% and velocity/pressure relative‑L2 errors of 0.054 and 0.023, respectively, while matching hospital‑measured FFR with 93.8% diagnostic accuracy. The pipeline completes the full angiography‑to‑hemodynamics conversion in about 20 minutes per patient and supports sparse‑data assimilation for revascularization planning.
