TY - UNPB AB - Extracting complex structures from grid-based data is a common key step inautomated medical image analysis. The conventional solution to recoveringtree-structured geometries typically involves computing the minimal cost paththrough intermediate representations derived from segmentation masks. However,this methodology has significant limitations in the context of projectiveimaging of tree-structured 3D anatomical data such as coronary arteries, sincethere are often overlapping branches in the 2D projection. In this work, wepropose a novel approach to predicting tree connectivity structure whichreformulates the task as an optimization problem over individual steps of arecursive process. We design and train a two-stage model which leverages theUNet and Transformer architectures and introduces an image-based promptingtechnique. Our proposed method achieves compelling results on a pair ofsynthetic datasets, and outperforms a shortest-path baseline.
