Localization of early infarction on non-contrast CT images in acute ischemic stroke with deep learning approach.

ABSTRACT: Localization of early infarction on first-line Non-contrast computed tomogram (NCCT) guides prompt treatment to improve stroke outcome. Our previous study has shown a good performance in the identification of ischemic injury on NCCT. In the present study, we developed a deep learning (DL) localization model to help localize the early infarction sign on NCCT. This retrospective study included consecutive 517 ischemic stroke (IS) patients who received NCCT within 12 h after stroke onset. A total of 21,436 infarction patches and 20,391 non-infarction patches were extracted from the slice pool of 1,634 NCCT according to brain symmetricity property. The generated patches were fed into different pretrained convolutional neural network (CNN) models such as Visual Geometry Group 16 (VGG16), Google
