Investigating the Visual Cues of CNNs for Vascular Segmentation: A Case Study in Microscopy and Fundus Imaging

Vascular segmentation is a standard procedure for clinical diagnosis, yet the specific visual features determining model decisions remain poorly understood. This paper investigates the visual cues Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) use to segment blood vessels across two distinct imaging domains: fluorescence microscopy and retinal fundus photography.

HTC-SGA Former: A Hybrid Transformer-CNN Network with Self-Guided Attention and a New Boundary-Weighted Adaptive Loss for Coronary DSA Vessel Segmentation

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.
