arXiv:2607.05317v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated detection of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) from CT angiography (CTA) is severely hindered by high false-positive rates. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) rely on local pixel intensities, causing systematic confusion between saccular aneurysms and vascular bifurcations -- a problem especially acute for small lesions (<3 mm), where detection sensitivity falls below 60%. We propose a plug-and-play, topology-aware false-positive reduction framework evaluating the Smooth Euler Characteristic Transform (SECT) -- a directional representati
The continuous advancements in AI and medical imaging compel researchers to address critical challenges in automated diagnosis, particularly the high false-positive rates that hinder clinical adoption.
Improving the accuracy and reducing false positives in automated medical image analysis, especially for critical conditions like aneurysms, has significant implications for patient outcomes, healthcare efficiency, and the broader application of AI in medicine.
The proposed topology-aware false-positive reduction framework allows for more reliable AI-driven detection of small lesions, enhancing critical diagnostic capabilities where current CNNs struggle.
