3D Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) plays a vital role in the detection of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms (UIAs).

We evaluate the quality of the generated volumes at the latent space level and investigate the impact of this approach on aneurysm detection models.

摘要

3D Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) plays a vital role in the detection of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms (UIAs). In recent years, deep learning-based detection of UIAs from 3D MRA scans has gained popularity due to its high efficiency and accuracy in diagnosis. However, training a robust 3D deep learning model usually requires large amounts of real-world data, which is not easy to obtain due to privacy concerns. An intuitive solution to limited real-world training data is to generate synthetic data from limited real-world samples. The generated 3D volumes, however, need to have ground truth masks for use during model training. Unfortunately, labeling aneurysm masks manually is a time-consuming and non-trivial task. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of generating 3D MRA volumes from limited real-world 3D MRA scans and ground truth masks using a segmentation-guided (or ground truth-guided) approach based on modern generative models. We evaluate the quality of the generated volumes at the latent space level and investigate the impact of this approach on aneurysm detection models.
