• Abstract: Intracranial aneurysms are often asymptomatic until rupture, which carries high mortality. Rupture risk assessment and treatment planning depend on both aneurysm morphology and anatomical location, yet existing automated methods remain limited to binary detection without fine-grained anatomical classification or multi-class segmentation. We present a multi-task framework that simultaneously performs multi-label classification, multi-class aneurysm segmentation, and multi-class vessel segmentation across 13 anatomical locations and four imaging modalities (CTA, MRA, T2, T1-post). Our two-stage approach combines a fast 2D tri-axial Region of Interest (ROI) extraction method with a 3D multi-task nnU-Net backbone. A dual-decoder design mitigates the extreme volume imbalance between aneurysm and vessel classes, while cross-attention pooling and modality-specific auxiliary heads improve feature learning across heterogeneous inputs. Our two-fold ensemble achieved 2nd place in the RSNA 2025 Intracranial Aneurysm Detection challenge. Code, model weights, and a 3D Slicer plugin are publicly available.

  We present a framework for automated fetal vessel segmentation from 3D black blood T2w MRI and anomaly classification. We target 11 cardiac vessels and three distinct aortic arch anomalies, including double aortic arch, right aortic arch, and suspected coarctation of the aorta.

  Automated detecting lung infections from computed tomography (CT) data plays an important role for combating COVID-19. Most current COVID-19 infection segmentation methods mainly relied on 2D CT images, which lack 3D sequential constraint. Existing 3D CT segmentation methods focus on single-scale representations, which do not achieve the multiple level receptive field sizes on 3D volume.
