Article Abstract
Background: Predicting the final infarct after an extended time window mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is beneficial for treatment planning in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). By introducing guidance from prior knowledge, this study aims to improve the accuracy of the deep learning model for post-MT infarct prediction using pre-MT brain perfusion data.
Methods: This retrospective study collected CT perfusion data at admission for AIS patients receiving MT over 6 hours after symptom onset, from January 2020 to December 2024, across three centers. Infarct on post-MT diffusion weighted imaging served as ground truth. Five Swin transformer based models were developed for post-MT infarct segmentation using pre-MT CT perfusion parameter maps: BaselineNet served as the basic model for comparative analysis, CollateralFlowNet included a collateral circulation evaluation score, InfarctProbabilityNet incorporated infarct probability mapping, ArterialTerritoryNet was guided by artery territory mapping, and UnifiedNet combined all prior knowledge sources. Model performance was evaluated using the Dice coefficient and intersection over union (IoU).
Results: A total of 221 patients with AIS were included (65.2% women) with a median age of 73 years. Baseline ischemic core based on CT perfusion threshold achieved a Dice coefficient of 0.50 and IoU of 0.33. BaselineNet improved to a Dice coefficient of 0.69 and IoU of 0.53. Compared with BaselineNet, models incorporating medical knowledge demonstrated higher performance: CollateralFlowNet (Dice coefficient 0.72, IoU 0.56), InfarctProbabilityNet (Dice coefficient 0.74, IoU 0.58), ArterialTerritoryNet (Dice coefficient 0.75, IoU 0.60), and UnifiedNet (Dice coefficient 0.82, IoU 0.71) (all P<0.05).
Conclusions: In this study, integrating medical knowledge into deep learning models enhanced the accuracy of infarct predictions in AIS patients undergoing extended time window MT.

Purpose: Cerebrovascular segmentation is crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases. However, accurately extracting cerebral vessels from Time-of-Flight Magnetic Resonance Angiography (TOF-MRA) remains challenging due to the topological complexity and anatomical variability.
Methods: This paper presents a novel Y-shaped segmentation network with fast Fourier convolution and Mamba, termed F-Mamba-YNet.

Objective: Accurate segmentation of breast lesions, especially small ones, remains challenging in digital mammography due to complex anatomical structures and low-contrast boundaries. This study proposes DVF-YOLO-Seg, a two-stage segmentation framework designed to improve feature extraction and enhance small-lesion detection performance in mammographic images.
Methods: The proposed method integrates an enhanced YOLOv10-based detection module with a segmentation stage based on the Visual Reference Prompt Segment Anything Model (VRP-SAM).

Purpose: We aimed to develop an AI-based system to score the positioning in mammography (MG), with the goal of establishing a foundation for future technical support.
Methods: Using 800 mediolateral oblique (MLO) images, we developed an AI model (Mask Generation Model) for automatic extraction of three regions: the pectoralis major muscle, the mammary gland region, and the nipple. Using this model, we extracted three regions from 1544 MLO images and generated mask images.
