摘要

Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of death globally, highlighting the critical need for accurate diagnostic tools in medical imaging. Traditional segmentation methods for coronary angiograms often struggle with vessel discontinuity and inaccuracies, impeding effective diagnosis and treatment planning. To address these challenges, we developed the Local Adaptive Segmentation Framework (LASF), enhancing the YOLOv8 architecture with dilation and erosion algorithms to improve the continuity and precision of vascular image segmentation. We further enriched the ARCADE dataset by meticulously annotating both proximal and distal vascular segments, thus broadening the dataset’s applicability for training robust segmentation models. Our comparative analyses reveal that LASF outperforms well-known models such as UNet and DeepLabV3Plus, demonstrating superior metrics in precision, recall, and F1-score across various testing scenarios. These enhancements ensure more reliable and accurate segmentation, critical for clinical applications. LASF represents a significant advancement in the segmentation of vascular images within coronary angiograms. By effectively addressing the common issues of vessel discontinuity and segmentation accuracy, LASF stands to improve the clinical management of CAD, offering a promising tool for enhancing diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes in medical settings.
