Objective:

To develop a robust framework for the detection and segmentation of cerebral aneurysms, particularly small ones, which are critical for risk assessment and treatment planning.

Key Findings:
  • AMAP outperforms CNN, Transformer, and foundation-based baselines on multiple datasets, achieving 3−5% higher Dice scores and reducing false positives per case by about 20%.
  • Demonstrates accurate boundary preservation and consistent detection of small aneurysms, which are often overlooked by existing methods.
Interpretation:

AMAP represents a significant advancement in AI for cerebral aneurysm detection, with practical implications for improving clinical outcomes in identifying small aneurysms and enhancing domain generalization.

Limitations:
  • Performance may vary with different imaging modalities not included in the training datasets; future work should explore additional modalities.
  • Further validation is needed in clinical settings to confirm generalizability and effectiveness across diverse patient populations.
Conclusion:

AMAP is a promising step towards reliable AI-assisted aneurysm screening, enhancing both detection accuracy and interpretability in clinical practice.
