Deep learning based on susceptibility-weighted MR sequence for detecting cerebral microbleeds and classifying cerebral small vessel disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) serve as neuroimaging biomarkers to assess risk of intracerebral hemorrhage and diagnose cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Therefore, detecting CMBs can evaluate the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage and use its presence to support CSVD classification, both are conducive to optimizing CSVD management. This study aimed to develop and test a deep learning (DL) model based on susceptibility-weighted MR sequence (SWS) to detect CMBs and classify CSVD to assist neurologists in optimizing CSVD management. Patients with arteriolosclerosis (aSVD), cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), and cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) treated at three centers were enrolled between January 2017 and
