AB  - SUMMARY: We demonstrate the feasibility of intracranial vascular segmentation based on the hypointense signal in non-contrast-enhanced black-blood MR imaging using convolutional neural networks. We selected 37 cases. Qualitatively, we observed no degradation due to stent artifacts, a comparable recognition of an aneurysm recurrence with TOF-MRA, and consistent success in the differentiation of intracranial arteries and veins. False-positive and false-negative results were observed. Quantitatively, our model achieved a promising Dice similarity coefficient of 0.72.BBMRIblack-blood compressed-sensing MRICNNconvolutional neural networksDSCDice similarity coefficient
