Time-of-flight MR angiography (TOF-MRA) allows noninvasive visualization of the mouse intracranial vessels. However, there is no available tool for vessel segmentation in mouse 3D TOF-MRA. In this study, we developed an automated vessel segmentation method based on a convolutional neural network and multiscale vessel enhancement filtering algorithm. The method is potentially useful in the preclinical studies of cerebrovascular diseases.
