Accurate segmentation of cerebral arteries on computed tomography angiography (CTA) images is essential for the diagnosis and management of cerebrovascular diseases, including ischemic stroke. This study implemented a deep learning-based U-Net++ model for cerebral artery segmentation in CTA images, focusing on optimizing pruning levels by analyzing the trade-off between segmentation performance and computational cost. Dual-energy CTA and direct subtraction CTA datasets were utilized to segment t…
