Automated Detection and Location Specification of Large Vessel Occlusion on Computed Tomography Angiography in Acute Ischemic Stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fast and accurate detection of large vessel occlusions (LVOs) is crucial in selection of patients with acute ischemic stroke for endovascular treatment. We assessed accuracy of an automated LVO detection algorithm with LVO localization feature.

Methods

Consecutive patients who underwent computed tomography angiography in 2 centers between January 2018 and September 2019 and between June and November 2020 for suspected anterior circulation LVO were retrospectively included. Reference standard for presence and site of an anterior circulation LVO (intracranial internal carotid artery, M1, or M2 segments of the middle cerebral artery) was established by consensus of 2 independent neuroradiologist readings. All computed tomography angiographies were processed by Stroke
