 # **VesselBoost**
-*VesselBoost* is a Python-based software package utilizing deep learning techniques to segment high-resolution time-of-flight MRI angiography data, with high sensitivity towards small vessels. The software suite encompasses three essential functional modules: (1) *predict*, (2) *test-time adaptation* (TTA), and (3) *boost*. By leveraging these modules, users can efficiently segment high-resolution time-of-flight data or conveniently leverage our command line interface to boost segmentations for other vascular MRI image contrasts.
