After achieving a score of **0.63 (rank 121)**, I've refined my approach to push for better performance. This competition requires detecting and localizing intracranial aneurysms across **13 anatomical locations** using multimodal medical imaging data (**CT, CTA, MRA, MRI**).\n\n## What Makes This Challenge Unique\nThe competition is particularly challenging because:\n\n- **Multi-modal imaging**: We work with CT, CTA, MRA, and MRI scans\n- **13 anatomical locations**: Each requiring precise localization\n- **High clinical stakes**: Early detection can prevent life-threatening ruptures\n- **Subtle visual cues**: Aneurysms can be very small and hard to detect\n\n## My Approach Overview\nMy solution combines several key strategies:\n\n- **Multi-backbone ensemble**: Using diverse architectures (EfficientNet, ConvNeXt, Swin Transformer)\n- **Advanced DICOM processing**: Proper windowing for different modalities\n- **Multi-channel input**: Combining middle slice, MIP, and standard deviation projections\n- **Test-time augmentation**: Multiple transforms for robust predictions\n- **Metadata integration**: Incorporating patient age and sex\n\nLet's dive into the implementation! 🚀","metadata":{}},{"cell_type":"markdown","source":"# 1.
