Background:

Renal disease poses a significant public health challenge, with microvascular lesions driving progression.
Accurate segmentation of renal microvasculature is critical for pathological evaluation.
Existing deep learning models face challenges in segmenting complex renal microvessels, affecting accuracy, continuity, and boundary delineation.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel deep learning architecture for accurate renal microvessel segmentation.
To address limitations of existing models in handling complex vessel structures and background noise.
To create a computationally efficient model suitable for real-time clinical applications.

Main Methods:

Proposed Multiscale Attention-Assisted Residual Neural Network (MAAR-Net) based on a U-Net architecture.
Integrated multiscale residual blocks, high-semantic feature extraction, and depth-separable convolutional attention blocks.
Employed additional segmentation branches for multi-receptive-field information aggregation.
Validated on the HuBMAP dataset of 2D PAS-stained kidney histology images.
Optimized the model using structured pruning and quantification for real-time performance.

Main Results:

MAAR-Net achieved an Intersection over Union (IoU) of 0.5063 and an F1-score of 0.6751 on the HuBMAP dataset.
The model outperformed mainstream segmentation methods in accuracy and efficiency.
Optimized MAAR-Net demonstrated suitability for real-time diagnostic applications without requiring specialized hardware.

Conclusions:

MAAR-Net offers a robust and practical solution for accurate renal microvessel segmentation.
The model's performance and efficiency facilitate its deployment in clinical settings for improved renal disease assessment.
The developed approach enhances the potential for precise pathological evaluation and timely diagnosis of kidney diseases.
