Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Introduce Topo-UNet network for precise pulmonary vessel segmentation and early disease diagnosis. • Combine Bidirectional Slice-wise ConvLSTM module with topology-aware auxiliary task to enhance vessel feature capture. • Experiments on CT and CTA of the ISICDM 2020 dataset show Dice over 90%, IoU over 83%, and model size only 68.51 MB. • Experiments on the CARVE14 and HiPaS 2025 dataset demonstrate model robustness. • Propose a grouping evaluation strategy for performance analysis of vessels of different sizes. • Introduce vessel refinement method, significantly improving the recognition rate of fine vessels.
