Automatic identification of early ischemic lesions on non-contrast CT with deep learning approach.

ABSTRACT: Early ischemic lesion on non-contrast computed tomogram (NCCT) in acute stroke can be subtle and need confirmation with magnetic resonance (MR) image for treatment decision-making. We retrospectively included the NCCT slices of 129 normal subjects and 546 ischemic stroke patients (onset < 12 h) with corresponding MR slices as reference standard from a prospective registry of Chang Gung Research Databank. In model selection, NCCT slices were preprocessed and fed into five different pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) models including Visual Geometry Group 16 (VGG16), Residual Networks 50, Inception-ResNet-v2, Inception-v3, and Inception-v4. In model derivation, the customized-VGG16 model could achieve an accuracy of 0.83, sensitivity 0.85, F-score 0.80, specificity 0.82, and AP 0
