Accurate segmentation of the intercondylar notch of the femur is of great significance for the diagnosis of knee joint diseases, surgical planning, and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Among them, the obvious anatomical heterogeneity, the interference of structurally similar tissues, and the blurred boundaries in MRI images make the segmentation of the intercondylar notch challenging. The segmentation of the intercondylar notch is often regarded as a standard semantic segmentation problem, but doing so leaves the inherent high-order internal variation and low-contrast features of its anatomical structure unresolved. We proposed a new Wavelet Multi-scale Contextual Attention Network (WMCA-Net). We have coordinated the Shallow High-frequency Feature Dense Extraction Block (SHFDEB) and Wavelet Split and Fusion Block (WSFB) modules with each other. The SHFDEB intensively extracts high-frequency detailed features at the shallowest layer of the network, while the WSFB effectively splits and fuses features at various resolutions, suppressing noise while better preserving the high-frequency detailed structural information we need. The Multi-scale Depth-wise Convolution Block (MDCB) captures cross-scale features from the narrow intercondylar notch (5–8 mm wide) to the surrounding femoral structure (approximately 50 mm diameter), dynamically adapting to different morphologies, including pathological changes caused by osteophyte formation. The Contextual-Weighted Attention Module (CWAM) establishes long-term semantic associations between fuzzy regions and clear anatomical landmarks by precisely locating uncertain regions through foreground and background decomposition. The Dice Similarity Coefficient of WMCA-Net on the intercondylar notch dataset is 93.16%, and the 95% Hausdorff Distance is 1.42 mm, demonstrating its advanced segmentation performance and good anatomical adaptability.

Automated assessment of coronary artery (CA) lesions via Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) is essential for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, current deep learning approaches confront several challenges, primarily regarding the modeling of long-range anatomical dependencies, the effective decoupling of plaque texture from stenosis geometry, and the utilization of clinically prevalent mixed-grained annotations. To address these challenges, we propose a novel mixed-grained hierarchical geometric-semantic learning network (MG-HGLNet). Specifically, we introduce a topology-aware dual-stream encoding (TDE) module, which incorporates a bidirectional vessel Mamba (BiV-Mamba) encoder to capture global hemodynamic contexts and rectify spatial distortions inherent in curved planar reformation (CPR). Furthermore, a synergistic spectral–morphological decoupling (SSD) module is designed to disentangle task-specific features; it utilizes frequency-domain analysis to extract plaque spectral fingerprints while employing a texture-guided deformable attention mechanism to refine luminal boundary. To mitigate the scarcity of fine-grained labels, we implement a mixed-grained supervision optimization (MSO) strategy, utilizing anatomy-aware dynamic prototypes and logical consistency constraints to effectively leverage coarse branch-level labels. Extensive experiments on an in-house dataset demonstrate that MG-HGLNet achieves a stenosis grading accuracy of 92.4% and a plaque classification accuracy of 91.5%. The results suggest that our framework not only outperforms state-of-the-art methods but also maintains robust performance under weakly supervised settings, offering a promising solution for label-efficient CAD diagnosis.
