Abstract
Enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) are small fluid-filled spaces surrounding blood vessels in the brain. They have been found to be important in the development and progression of cerebrovascular disease, including stroke, dementia, and cerebral small vessel disease. Their accurate detection and quantification are crucial for early diagnosis and better management of these diseases. In recent years, object detection techniques such as Mask R-CNN approach have been widely used to automate the detection and segmentation of small objects. To account for the tubular shape of these markers we use ellipsoid shapes instead of bounding boxes to express the location of individual elements in the implementation of the Fast R-CNN. We investigate the performance of this model under different modality combinations and find that the T2 modality alone, as well as the combination of T1+T2, deliver better performance.
