BSC-Net: A Small-Branch-Sensitive Structural Continuity Network for Coronary Vessel Segmentation and Quantitative Angiographic Analysis

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 14, 2026 · UTC

Vessel segmentation in X-ray coronary angiography (XCA) is a fundamental step for quantitative coronary analysis and subsequent assessment of coronary artery disease. However, accurate vessel segmentation remains challenging because of imaging noise, complex bifurcations, and the overlap of vessels and background structures, which can lead to disrupted vascular connectivity and missed small branches. In this work, we propose BSC-Net, a ResNet-U-Net-based framework tailored to improve small-vessel representation and repair vascular structural continuity. BSC-Net enhances small-vessel representa
