Intracranial Aneurysm Classification and Segmentation via Tri-Axial ROI and Multi-Task Learning
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
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, a 3D Slicer plugin, and the corrected segmentation labels are publicly available.
