Automated prediction of final infarct volume in patients with large-vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke

CONCLUSIONS: In a cohort of patients with LVO AIS in whom reperfusion was achieved, determinations of infarct core at presentation by NCHCT-ASPECTS and a machine learning model analyzing CTA source images were equivalent to CTP in predicting FIV. These findings have suggested that the information to accurately predict infarct core in patients with LVO AIS was present in conventional imaging modalities (NCHCT and CTA) and accessible by machine learning methods.PMID:34198252 | DOI:10.3171/2021.4.FOCUS21134
