Coronary Artery Diseases(CADs) though preventable are one of the leading causes of death and disability. Diagnosis of these diseases is often difficult and resource intensive. Segmentation of arteries in angiographic images has evolved as a tool for assistance, helping clinicians in making accurate diagnosis. However, due to the limited amount of data and the difficulty in curating a dataset, the task of segmentation has proven challenging. In this study, we introduce the idea of using pseudolabels as a data augmentation technique to improve the performance of the baseline Yolo model. This method increases the F1 score of the baseline by 9% in the validation dataset and by 3% in the test dataset.
