Coronary Angiography

Sparse-view 3D coronary reconstruction commonly relies on cross-view correspondence and triangulation, which are vulnerable to vessel overlap and foreshortening, or on volumetric prediction followed by vascular-graph extraction, which does not directly provide centrelines and radii. We introduce PPCAR-Net, a projection-refined parametric coronary artery reconstruction network that directly predicts a branch-structured centreline-and-radius representation without explicit point matching, triangulation, or an intermediate volume. Given a variable number of segmented views, a coarse predictor combines frozen VGGT features with learned branch queries to estimate branch presence, B-spline centreline trajectories, and dense radius profiles. Projection-guided geometry and radius refiners then sample local evidence from the input views and apply residual corrections learned with 3D supervision. We evaluate representation fidelity and sparse-view reconstruction quantitatively and qualitatively. On simulated angiographic masks generated from CT-derived coronary anatomy, PPCAR-Net produces better connected artery reconstructions and achieves strong centreline accuracy, particularly for RCA, while maintaining competitive volumetric overlap. Coarse-to-fine inference takes 121 ms, enabling real-time reconstruction.

Extracting patient-specific vascular trees from volumetric medical images is fundamental to computational angiography and non-invasive hemodynamic assessment. Conventional voxel segmentation models often sever delicate bifurcations, while heuristic Euclidean Minimum Spanning Trees introduce non-anatomical shortcuts. Moreover, linear Poiseuille flow neglects quadratic kinetic dissipation across arterial narrowings, underestimating ischemia. We formulate an end-to-end framework decoupling continuous geometric arborescence generation from non-linear hemodynamics. First, an autonomous 3D Ostium Landmark Localization Head with dual-sinus query channels and spherical-gated refinement eliminates centerline seeding dependency, achieving cohort mean localization error of 7.63 mm (7.43 mm LCA, 7.83 mm RCA; 71.4% <= 8.0 mm) from raw contrast context. Second, a Spatially-Grounded Deformable Step Flow Architecture queries continuous 3D feature pyramids via trilinear sampling, sequentially generating trajectories with anchor boundary enforcement (X(0) = P_start). Third, a Top-Down Recursive Arborescence State Machine detects bifurcation peaks via Tree-NMS and parameterizes predecessor parent pointers (p_k < k), guaranteeing single connected acyclic tree topology (beta_0 = 1, beta_1 = 0) with differentiable step termination. Fourth, an iterative Picard non-linear Kirchhoff solver with Young-Tsai / Gould quadratic dissipation enforces machine-precision mass conservation (residual 5.82e-11 mL/s). Across 14 development patients under standardized in-silico stenosis stress testing (Q_0 = 4.0 mL/s), linear Poiseuille flow misclassifies 75% diameter lesions as non-ischemic (FFR > 0.80) in 14/14 cases, whereas our non-linear solver captures functional ischemia (FFR = 0.5864, lesion disparity 32.89 mmHg, p = 6.10e-5) with 3.66x collateral shunting. Test set firewall isolation was maintained.

The SYNTAX score is an established tool for assessing coronary artery disease and guiding revascularization treatment decisions. However, its manual estimation from coronary angiography videos by clinical experts is time-consuming and subject to inter-reader variability. While machine learning has shown promise in automating this process, prior work has primarily focused on lesion detection, characterization, or binary disease classification, leaving direct SYNTAX score prediction relatively unexplored. We propose SynSeq, a video-based method for direct SYNTAX score prediction. It combines targeted preprocessing with a tailored training strategy using a zero-inflation-aware loss and linear target scaling. Evaluated on the public CardioSyntax dataset, SynSeq significantly outperforms previous state-of-the-art methods, improving $R^2$ by 0.55, reducing prediction bias by 93.1% and achieving more consistent performance across annotations from three independent expert graders. In addition, SynSeq achieves a weighted $F_1$-score of 0.80 for revascularization treatment recommendations, slightly below inter-expert agreement. These results demonstrate the potential of SynSeq to provide consistent, automated SYNTAX score assessment and reliable decision support for coronary revascularization planning.

The SYNTAX score is a clinically established tool for assessing anatomical lesion complexity in coronary artery disease and guiding subsequent treatment. However, automated SYNTAX scoring is commonly formulated as a direct regression problem from coronary angiography videos to patient-level scores. In this work, we reformulate SYNTAX scoring as a vessel segment identity-preserving anatomical reasoning problem and propose a hierarchical modeling framework that explicitly aligns learning with the clinical workflow. Our approach maintains vessel segment identity across frames and views, estimates stenosis severity at the segment level, and aggregates evidence hierarchically according to coronary anatomy. Simultaneously, to address the scarcity of domain-specific data, we integrate and complete multiple public coronary angiography datasets, constructing a large-scale resource featuring completed vessel segmentation and derived structural annotations. Experiments demonstrate that vessel segment-level stenosis embedding enhances explanatory power and reduces prediction variability compared to baseline models, with the R^2 score improving by 0.201 and dev STD decreasing by 18.4%. These results highlight the necessity of structure-aligned modeling for reliable and stable automated SYNTAX scoring from multi-view coronary angiography videos.

Clinical decision-making for coronary intervention relies mainly on angiography and fractional flow reserve (FFR). However, angiography is two-dimensional and lacks depth information for 3D lesion characterization, while FFR provides only a single functional index, offering limited hemodynamic insight. Among existing methods, numerical analysis is computationally expensive, whereas learning-based approaches require extensive supervision and often lack physical consistency. To address these limitations, we propose physics-informed hemodynamic modeling, an integrated deep learning framework for 3D coronary blood flow analysis from dual-view angiography. First, an attention-enhanced CNN reconstructs coronary geometry from angiography. The resulting point clouds are then mapped to a reference domain and Fourier-encoded for joint representation. A decoupled network separately predicts velocity and pressure fields, with embedded physical priors enabling efficient transfer across physiological conditions. Across 32 clinical patients evaluated under four flow conditions, the trans-stenotic pressure-drop mean absolute percentage error was 2.02%, while the velocity and pressure relative-L2 errors were 0.054 and 0.023, respectively. Validation against hospital-measured FFR further achieved 93.8% diagnostic accuracy (30/32; exact 95% CI, 79.2%-99.2%). The framework also supports illustrative revascularization comparisons and sparse-data assimilation, with the full angiography-to-hemodynamics pipeline completed within 20 minutes per patient.

X-ray coronary angiography is the clinical gold standard for coronary artery disease during real-time cardiac interventions, but provides only 2D projections of inherently 3D vessels. Existing learning-based 2D-to-3D reconstruction methods typically require wide angular coverage or multiple views, assumptions that are rarely satisfied in routine practice where only two projections with narrow angular separation are available. To address these challenges, we propose NeCA++, a multi-stage self-supervised neural radiance field (NeRF) framework tailored to clinically realistic acquisition constraints. The framework decomposes reconstruction into two stages that progressively refine spatial support and representation capacity. In the first stage, a coarse 3D representation of the vasculature is reconstructed, restricting the subsequent optimisation to regions with a higher likelihood of vessel presence, termed an active region. Afterward reconstruction is restricted to this region while higher-resolution representations are progressively activated to recover fine vascular details. This multi-stage strategy focuses learning on anatomically plausible regions, mitigates gradient dilution under extreme sparsity, and stabilises global topology before recovering fine vascular branches. Furthermore, two vessel-specific regularisations are introduced: a ray-aligned constraint to reduce projection-induced ambiguity, and a bimodal density penalty to enable early vessel-background separation. Extensive experiments across three datasets (ImageCAS, ASOCA, and Synthetic RCA) and four angular configurations demonstrate consistent superiority over state-of-the-art baselines, particularly under clinically realistic narrow-angle settings, while achieving reconstruction within 58 seconds per case.

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 representation through targeted sampling and improves vascular structural continuity by integrating long-range contextual modeling and Edge-Informed Loss (EIL). BSC-Net was validated on two public XCA datasets, demonstrating state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in coronary vessel segmentation with Dice and IoU scores of 77.8%/90.6% and 64.5%/83.0%, respectively. Furthermore, based on the obtained vessel segmentation, we performed automated quantitative coronary analysis and derived clinically relevant morphological and hemodynamic parameters, including stenosis ratio, time-to-peak, and relative propagation velocity. These results demonstrate that BSC-Net produces accurate vessel segmentation results with preserved vascular continuity for quantitative coronary assessment, enabling reliable downstream analysis and clinical evaluation of coronary artery disease.

Accurate pixel-level classification of coronary angiograms is critical for cardiovascular disease assessment, yet the field lacks standardized evaluation protocols. In this work we demonstrate a new benchmark for the assessment of deep learning models which densely classify pixels of coronary angiograms to one of SYNTAX classes (or background). The evaluation covers 24 distinct architectures starting with classic convnets to recent state-space-based vision algorithms. We release CARDIAG - a multi-center, multi-label dataset which we carefully split to reliably compute metrics, accounting for diameter error, overlap, centerline quality and calibration. The data contains SYNTAX labels, binary, uncertainty and segmentation masks as well as intermediate frames together with the selected non-sensitive DICOM metadata. From the multitude of algorithms, we nominate ConvNeXt V2 encoder with DeepLab V3 Plus decoder as the best performing, achieving macro $F_1=0.456$, which we then ensemble with Mamba U-Net and Feature Pyramid Network, for an increased $F_1=0.479$. We demonstrate all the architectures to be well calibrated and determine the generalization of the top 5 methods, together with the data efficiency of these architectures. We highlight the importance of both high-resolution and low-resolution features in encoding. We also demonstrate the model correctness in the context of patient demographic, vessel sides and projection angle configurations. Overall the released benchmark allows for future studies to robustly and rigorously assess the proposals, not only for SYNTAX segmentation, but lesion detection and many more.

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is a minimally invasive procedure used to restore coronary blood flow obstructed by atherosclerotic plaque. During PCI, repeated injections of iodine-based contrast agents are required to visualize the coronary arteries and guide interventional devices. However, frequent contrast injections increase radiation exposure and the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy, with acute kidney injury reported in up to 30% of patients with renal impairment. Dynamic Coronary Roadmapping (DRM) reduces these risks by overlaying a precomputed angiographic vessel map onto live fluoroscopy and continuously updating it throughout the procedure. Accurate DRM relies on precise cardiac phase matching between angiography and fluoroscopy, together with reliable catheter tip tracking for motion compensation. These tasks remain challenging in ECG-free settings and when only limited manual annotations are available. We present a unified DRM framework that simultaneously performs cardiac phase matching and catheter tip tracking for accurate real-time guidance. Our method employs a large-scale spatio-temporal encoder pretrained on 16 million X-ray frames to learn cardiac motion dynamics. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first application of large-scale spatio-temporal pretraining for motion compensation in DRM. We further introduce auxiliary tasks based on ECG R-peak detection and catheter tip tracking, improving optimization while eliminating the need for extensive catheter mask annotations. Finally, a majority-voting postprocessing strategy aggregates temporal predictions, improving robustness and providing a confidence score that correlates with phase-matching error. Comprehensive evaluation on clinical X-ray datasets demonstrates state-of-the-art performance, achieving low temporal misalignment and robust phase-matching accuracy suitable for real-time DRM.

Multi-view reasoning in coronary X-ray angiography is inherently a cross-projection geometric problem, yet automated report generation in this setting remains largely unexplored. The 3D vascular topology leads to projection-dependent branch overlap and foreshortening, rendering single-view modeling fundamentally incomplete and unstable for lesion localization and stenosis grading. Although multi-view fusion appears promising, learning anatomically consistent fusion from real angiograms is impeded by a critical limitation: cross-view alignment is unobservable and cannot be explicitly supervised. Consequently, conventional fusion relies on implicit correlations rather than verified anatomical correspondence. We address this by reformulating multi-view stenosis reporting as an alignment-constrained aggregation problem. A controllable synthetic angiography generation strategy is introduced to expose geometry-derived patch-level correspondence supervision unavailable in real data. An anatomy-correspondence module learns cross-view correspondence matrices that explicitly align auxiliary features within the main-view coordinate space prior to fusion, thereby constraining evidence aggregation to anatomically consistent regions. Experiments on synthetic data and zero-shot transfer to real angiograms show that this alignment-constrained design improves correspondence consistency and structured stenosis reporting compared to single-view modeling and conventional multi-view fusion methods. The code will be publicly available upon publication.

Accurate coronary Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) vessel segmentation is essential for computer-aided diagnosis and treatment planning of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, thin low-contrast vessels, background interference, and severe vessel-background class imbalance make reliable segmentation of weak distal branches and vessel boundaries challenging. Existing methods struggle to balance global contextual reasoning with preservation of weak vessels, vessel continuity, and fine boundaries. To address these limitations, we propose HTC-SGA Former, a lightweight hybrid Transformer-CNN framework for coronary DSA vessel segmentation. It employs a CNN encoder for local vessel morphology extraction and a Transformer decoder for contextual feature modeling. A Multi-Scale Global-Local Window Attention (MS-GLWA) block performs efficient global-local contextual modeling, while a Self-Guided Feature Attention (SGFA) module enhances weak-vessel responses. In addition, a Boundary-Weighted Adaptive Compound Loss (BWACL) emphasizes thin-vessel boundaries and adaptively balances vessel recovery and boundary refinement. Experiments on private right and left coronary artery DSA subsets show that HTC-SGA Former outperforms 14 state-of-the-art segmentation methods while maintaining a compact architecture with only 0.81M parameters. BWACL also improves performance over binary cross-entropy and Dice losses across four encoder-decoder architectures, demonstrating strong cross-backbone applicability. HTC-SGA Former improves thin-vessel recovery, vessel continuity, and boundary localization through complementary global-local contextual modeling, vessel-focused refinement, and adaptive optimization, supporting reliable and computationally efficient coronary vessel analysis for future computer-assisted cardiovascular interventions.

Accurate correspondence matching across multiple angiographic views is the prerequisite for 3D coronary reconstruction and interventional guidance. However, the development of robust deep learning models for this task has been stifled by a fundamental data bottleneck. Obtaining ground truth for matching tasks in angiography pairs is prohibitively expensive and hard to scale. To overcome this barrier, we introduce a physically-grounded data generation framework that synthesizes high-fidelity Digital Reconstructed Radiographs (DRRs) from 3D Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) volumes. Our framework generates dense, highly accurate 3D-to-2D projection labels by simulating realistic C-arm acquisition geometry on patient anatomy at zero human cost. Leveraging this dense supervision, we propose a Geometry-Informed Matching Module (GIMM) that integrates global feature and anatomical structure into correspondence learning. Unlike real angiography where assessment relies on subjective human annotation, our dataset provides 2D correspondence labels with paired images, allowing human-free evaluation. We comprehensively evaluate our method on the proposed CT-derived DRR dataset and demonstrate improvements over other matching baseline models.

Coronary guidewire endpoint localization is a fundamental capability for computer-assisted PCI, and its importance increases as robot-assisted PCI is progressively adopted to reduce operator radiation exposure. However, the scarcity of annotated CAG images with guidewires and the limited adaptability of existing guidewire synthesis models remain key bottlenecks for guidewire endpoint localization. To address this issue, we propose VDSB-GWSyn, a Diffusion Schrödinger Bridge (DSB) model-based framework, enabling synthesis of controllable, high-fidelity guidewire samples under complex anatomical backgrounds. VDSB-GWSyn first uses our shape prior algorithm to learn the basic guidewire geometry. It then generates guidewire masks under constraints imposed by the vessel segmentation masks and outputs the corresponding endpoint coordinates. Finally, it synthesizes realistic guidewire samples on real CAG images using DSB conditioned with SPADE. Experimental results show that the guidewire samples synthesized by VDSB-GWSyn achieve favorable ROI-FID and ROI-KID, as well as high IPR scores. In addition, incorporating our synthesized data for synthetic pre-training followed by real fine-tuning substantially improves downstream guidewire endpoint localization, reducing MPE from 16.01px to 7.71px and increasing PCK at 3~px from 52.63% to 86.27%, leading to more clinically reliable deployment of robot-assisted guidewire delivery systems. Moreover, the core design philosophy of controllable device synthesis with strict background preservation and anatomical feasibility constraints has the potential to transfer to other interventional device perception tasks where annotated data are scarce.

Coronary artery stenosis is a common cardiovascular disease, with severe, untreated cases posing significant risks of heart attack. Although coronary (X-ray) angiograms remain the standard for stenosis diagnosis, they are invasive, time- and resource-intensive, and therefore only performed on patients with a high probability of disease based on symptoms and prior clinical tests. However, a subset of patients, especially those without symptoms, may remain undiagnosed. Detecting indications of stenosis from ECGs, which are fast, cheap, non-invasive, and thus routinely acquired even in asymptomatic patients, would support early diagnosis. However, as no reliable stenosis-specific signal has been identified in ECGs, they can not currently be used for stenosis risk stratification. To address this, we introduce StenCE, a pretraining framework, allowing stratification of patients based on features derived directly from ECGs. Evaluations across varying stenosis severity thresholds and additional ECG disease classification tasks demonstrate consistent performance improvements across different ECG encoders, outperforming previous work. The obtained models successfully detect signals for stenosis diagnosis in ECGs and are the first to achieve high performance in severe stenosis classification. The source code is available at https://github.com/NikolaCenic/ecg-stenosis-cls.

Aims: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMVD) affects approximately 40%-60% of patients with ischemia and non-obstructive coronary arteries, yet diagnosis remains challenging due to reliance on invasive functional testing or subjective Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade. The TIMI Myocardial Perfusion Frame Count (TMPFC) offers an objective, angiography-based quantitative measure of CMVD, but its clinical translation is hindered by cumbersome manual calculation and insufficient validation. This study aims to develop and validate a deep learning-powered TMPFC calculation (DL-TMPFC), enabling integration into clinical workflows. Methods and results: DL-TMPFC framework comprised two components. A stenosis detection network first excluded obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). A territory-aware segmentation network then identified perfusion territories and TMPFC calculation module automatically determined the first and last frames from angiographic sequences. The framework was validated in a cohort of 655 patients (445 of obstructive CAD, 100 of confirmed CMVD, 110 of control group) from three independent institutions. DL-TMPFC showed excellent agreement with expert manual measurements (bias: -0.93 frames; 95% LoA: -5.33 to +3.47; r =0.98). DL-TMPFC markedly enhanced clinical feasibility by fully automating TMPFC and removing observer dependence. Clinically, DL-TMPFC accurately identified CMVD across a full spectrum of coronary pathologies and captured the continuous severity of CMVD beyond binary classification, enabling quantitative risk stratification. Conclusion: DL-TMPFC enabled automatic, standardized, and accurate quantification of CMVD directly from routine angiography. By providing an automatic and objective measure, this tool provided immediate diagnostic information for timely recognition and management of CMVD in clinical practice.

Image restoration models are increasingly applied to degraded medical scans, but in safety-sensitive settings they must improve image quality without uncontrolled modification of clinically important regions. This is especially relevant for intracranial CT and CT angiography (CTA), where small vessels and aneurysm-relevant cues lie near high-contrast anatomical boundaries. We frame medical image restoration as a conservative AI problem and present a residual-bounded 2.5D restoration framework trained on synthetically degraded CT/CTA inputs. The model adds a learned residual to the original center slice through an edit-control map that limits the magnitude and spatial extent of modification. We evaluate the framework using an aneurysm-relevant image-recovery matrix, paired comparison against a Gaussian baseline, Monte Carlo stability testing, anatomical localization of meaningful edits, and external evaluation on low-dose CT. On 50 out-of-distribution CT-CTA cases, the bounded model achieved a mean target gain of 0.0635, a mean PSNR of 37.51 dB, and an iatrogenic-edit rate of 4.0%. Across 1,000 Monte Carlo runs, it remained net positive in 85.4% of runs with no stably negative cases. On external low-dose CT, the model was directionally beneficial and produced a substantially smaller modification footprint than the baseline. Meaningful edits concentrated in brain and skull regions while unrelated anatomy showed negligible change. These findings provide preliminary computational evidence that residual-bounded restoration is feasible in boundary-sensitive vascular imaging, but they do not establish clinical diagnostic performance and require expert review and prospective validation before clinical use.

The scarcity of high-quality imaging data for coronary angiography (CAG) stenosis limits the clinical translation of automated stenosis detection. Synthetic stenosis data provides a practical avenue to augment training sets, improving data quality, diversity, and distributional coverage, and enhancing detection precision and generalization. However, diffusion-based editing commonly relies on soft guidance in a noise-initialized reverse process, offering limited pixel-level precision and structure preservation. We propose the OT-Bridge Editor, which reframes localized editing as a constrained entropic optimal transport (OT) problem and leverages geometric information to steer the generation path, enabling stronger geometric control. Extensive experiments show that our synthesized angiograms consistently improve downstream stenosis detection, yielding substantial relative gains of 27.8% on the public ARCADE benchmark and 23.0% on our multi-center dataset, supported by consistent qualitative results.

Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in coronary imaging is fundamentally challenged by physiological motion, forcing reliance on raw angiograms cluttered with anatomical noise. Existing deep learning methods often produced images with two critical clinically unacceptable flaws: persistent boundary artifacts and a loss of native tissue grayscale fidelity that undermined diagnostic confidence. We propose a novel framework termed as CDSA-Net that for the first time explicitly decouples and jointly optimizes vascular structure preservation and realistic background restoration. CDSA-Net introduces two core innovations: (i) A hierarchical geometric prior guidance (HGPG) mechanism, embedded in our coronary structure extraction network (CSENet). It synergistically combines integrated geometric prior (IGP) with gated spatial modulation (GSM) and centerline-aware topology (CAT) loss supervision, ensuring structural continuity. (ii) An adaptive noise module (ANM) within our coronary background restoration network (CBResNet). Unlike standard restoration, ANM uniquely models the stochastic nature of clinical X-ray noise, bridging the domain gap to enable seamless background intensity estimation and the complete elimination of boundary artifacts. The final subtraction is obtained by removing the restored background from the raw angiogram. Quantitatively, it significantly outperformed state-of-the-art methods in vascular intensity correlation and perceptual quality. A 25.6% improvement in morphology assessment efficiency and a 42.9% gain in hemodynamic evaluation speed set a new benchmark for utility in interventional cardiology, while maintaining diagnostic results consistent with raw angiograms. The project code is available at https://github.com/DrThink-ai/CDSA-Net.

Coronary artery disease, a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality worldwide, can be assessed non-invasively by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Although deep learning has advanced automated CCTA analysis, clinical translation remains constrained by the scarcity of expert-annotated data and by the spatial sparsity of coronary pathology, which occupies only a small fraction of each scan. Widely used label-free pretraining strategies, such as masked image modeling and contrastive learning, optimize for global anatomical reconstruction and tend to under-represent these tiny localized pathological features. Here we present CORA, an annotation-efficient model for comprehensive coronary artery disease assessment. Rather than reconstructing background anatomy, CORA learns from volumetric CCTA through a synthesis-driven self-supervised strategy: an anatomy-guided engine inserts diverse synthetic calcified and non-calcified lesions into unlabeled scans, reframing pretraining as an abnormality-detection task that biases representation learning toward clinically relevant disease features. We pretrained CORA on 10,138 unlabeled CCTA volumes and evaluated it across datasets from nine independent hospitals. Across plaque characterization, stenosis detection, and coronary artery segmentation, CORA consistently outperformed strong self-supervised pretraining baselines, with the largest gains on external multi-center data, indicating robust generalization under distributional shift. Coupling the imaging encoder with structured clinical variables further enabled near-term major adverse cardiac event (MACE) risk stratification. Our results show that pathology-centric, synthesis-driven pretraining is an effective and scalable strategy for annotation-efficient coronary artery disease assessment from CCTA.

Accurate segmentation of coronary Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) images is essential for diagnosing and treating coronary artery disease (CAD). Despite advances in deep learning, challenges such as high intra-class variance and class imbalance limit precise vessel delineation. Existing approaches for coronary DSA segmentation cannot effectively address these issues. Furthermore, existing segmentation network encoders do not directly generate semantic embeddings, which could enable the decoder to reconstruct segmentation masks more effectively. We propose a Supervised Prototypical Contrastive Loss (SPCL) that combines supervised and prototypical contrastive learning to enhance coronary DSA image segmentation. The supervised contrastive loss enforces semantic embeddings in the encoder, improving feature differentiation. The prototypical contrastive loss enables the model to focus on the foreground class while alleviating high intra-class variance and class imbalance by concentrating only on hard-to-classify background samples. We implement the proposed SPCL within MSA-UNet3+, a Multi-Scale Attention-Enhanced UNet3+ architecture. The architecture integrates a Multi-Scale Attention Encoder (M-encoder), a Multi-Scale Dilated Bottleneck (MSD-Bottleneck) for multi-scale feature extraction, and a Contextual Attention Fusion Module (CAFM) to preserve fine-grained details while improving contextual understanding. Experiments on a private coronary DSA dataset demonstrate that MSA-UNet3+ outperforms state-of-the-art methods, achieving the highest Dice coefficient and F1-score while significantly reducing ASD and ACD. The framework provides precise vessel segmentation for accurate identification of coronary stenosis and supports informed diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. The code will be released at https://github.com/rayanmerghani/MSA-UNet3plus.
