• Abstract summary: We propose a few-shot learning approach called VesselShot for cerebrovascular segmentation. VesselShot leverages knowledge from a few annotated support images and mitigates the scarcity of labeled data. We evaluated the performance of VesselShot using the publicly available TubeTK dataset for the segmentation task.

• Abstract: Angiography is widely used to detect, diagnose, and treat cerebrovascular diseases. While numerous techniques have been proposed to segment the vascular network from different imaging modalities, deep learning (DL) has emerged as a promising approach. However, existing DL methods often depend on proprietary datasets and extensive manual annotation. Moreover, the availability of pre-trained networks specifically for medical domains and 3D volumes is limited. To overcome these challenges, we propose a few-shot learning approach called VesselShot for cerebrovascular segmentation. VesselShot leverages knowledge from a few annotated support images and mitigates the scarcity of labeled data and the need for extensive annotation in cerebral blood vessel segmentation. We evaluated the performance of VesselShot using the publicly available TubeTK dataset for the segmentation task, achieving a mean Dice coefficient (DC) of 0.62(0.03).

  We propose Vicinal Labels Under Uncertainty (VLUU) to bridge the methodological gaps in partially supervised learning (PSL) under data scarcity. Motivated by multi-task learning and vicinal risk minimization, VLUU transforms the partially supervised problem into a fully supervised problem by generating vicinal labels.
