SADiff: Coronary Artery Segmentation in CT Angiography Using Spatial Attention and Diffusion Model by Ruoxuan Xu, Longhui Dai, Jianru Wang, Lei Zhang, Yuanquan Wang

“…We propose SADiff, a hybrid framework that integrates a dilated attention network (DAN) for ROI extraction, a diffusion-based subnet for noise suppression in low-contrast regions, and a striped attention network (SAN) to refine tubular structures affected by morphological variations. Experiments on the public ImageCAS dataset show that it has a Dice score of 83.48% and a Hausdorff distance of 19.43 mm, which is 6.57% higher than U-Net3D in terms of Dice. …”
