Aneumo: A Large-Scale Multimodal Aneurysm Dataset with Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations and Deep Learning Benchmarks
This dataset addresses the problem of limited large-scale hemodynamic data for researchers and clinicians in aneurysm risk assessment, though it is incremental as it builds on existing CFD methods by providing a new resource.
The authors tackled the challenge of computationally intensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for intracranial aneurysm risk assessment by curating a large-scale multimodal dataset with 85,280 blood flow dynamics data points from 427 real geometries, enabling the development of efficient machine learning algorithms.
Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are serious cerebrovascular lesions found in approximately 5\% of the general population. Their rupture may lead to high mortality. Current methods for assessing IA risk focus on morphological and patient-specific factors, but the hemodynamic influences on IA development and rupture remain unclear. While accurate for hemodynamic studies, conventional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods are computationally intensive, hindering their deployment in large-scale or real-time clinical applications. To address this challenge, we curated a large-scale, high-fidelity aneurysm CFD dataset to facilitate the development of efficient machine learning algorithms for such applications. Based on 427 real aneurysm geometries, we synthesized 10,660 3D shapes via controlled deformation to simulate aneurysm evolution. The authenticity of these synthetic shapes was confirmed by neurosurgeons. CFD computations were performed on each shape under eight steady-state mass flow conditions, generating a total of 85,280 blood flow dynamics data covering key parameters. Furthermore, the dataset includes segmentation masks, which can support tasks that use images, point clouds or other multimodal data as input. Additionally, we introduced a benchmark for estimating flow parameters to assess current modeling methods. This dataset aims to advance aneurysm research and promote data-driven approaches in biofluids, biomedical engineering, and clinical risk assessment.
