Clot-based radiomics model for cardioembolic stroke prediction with CT imaging before recanalization: a multicenter study

ConclusionThe proposed CT-based radiomics model could reliably predict CE stroke in AIS, performing better than the routine radiological method.Key Points• Admission CT imaging could offer valuable information to identify the acute ischemic stroke source by radiomics analysis.• The proposed CT imaging–based radiomics model yielded a higher area under the curve (0.838) than the routine radiological method (0.713; p = 0.007).• Several radiomic features showed significantly stronger correlations with two main thrombus constituents (red blood cells, |rmax|, 0.74; fibrin and platelet, |rmax|, 0.68) than routine radiological characteristics.
