Diagnostic performance of an algorithm for automated collateral scoring on computed tomography angiography

ConclusionsThe automated CS performs similar to radiologists in determining a good versus poor collateral score and predicting functional independence in acute ischemic stroke patients with a large vessel occlusion.Key Points•Software for automated quantification of intracerebral collateral circulation on computed tomography angiography performs similar to expert radiologists in determining a good versus poor collateral score.•Software for automated quantification of intracerebral collateral circulation on computed tomography angiography performs similar to expert radiologists in predicting functional independence in acute ischemic stroke patients with a large vessel occlusion.•The timing of computed tomography angiography acquisition after contrast material administration did not influence the performance of automated quantification of the collateral status.
