• Abstract summary: We present our solution to the Automatic Region-based Coronary Artery Disease diagnostics using X-ray angiography images (ARCADE) challenge held at MICCAI 2023. Our three-stage approach combines preprocessing and feature selection by classical computer vision to enhance vessel contrast. A final segmentation is based on a logic-based approach to reconstruct the coronary tree in a graph-based sorting method.

• Abstract: Coronary angiography remains the gold standard for diagnosis of coronary artery disease, the most common cause of death worldwide. While this procedure is performed more than 2 million times annually, there remain few methods for fast and accurate automated measurement of disease and localization of coronary anatomy. Here, we present our solution to the Automatic Region-based Coronary Artery Disease diagnostics using X-ray angiography images (ARCADE) challenge held at MICCAI 2023. For the artery segmentation task, our three-stage approach combines preprocessing and feature selection by classical computer vision to enhance vessel contrast, followed by an ensemble model based on YOLOv8 to propose possible vessel candidates by generating a vessel map. A final segmentation is based on a logic-based approach to reconstruct the coronary tree in a graph-based sorting method. Our entry to the ARCADE challenge placed 3rd overall. Using the official metric for evaluation, we achieved an F1 score of 0.422 and 0.4289 on the validation and hold-out sets respectively.

  The severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) is quantified by the location, degree of narrowing (stenosis) and number of arteries involved. The MICCAI grand challenge: Automatic Region-based Coronary Artery Disease diagnostics using the X-ray angiography imagEs (ARCADE) curated a dataset with stenosis annotations. We propose the architecture and algorithm StenUNet to accurately detect stenosis from X-ray Coronary Angiography.
