A Magnetic Resonance Angiography-Based Study Comparing Machine Learning and Clinical Evaluation: Screening Intracranial Regions Associated with the Hemorrhagic Stroke of Adult Moyamoya Disease

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a chronic occlusive cerebrovascular disease characterized by bilateral progressive steno-occlusive changes of unknown etiology at the distal portion of the internal carotid artery or proximal portion of the anterior arteries and middle cerebral arteries, accompanied by the presence of an abnormal vessel network (moyamoya vessels) at the base of the brain.1 The incidence and prevalence of MMD are increasing worldwide, which may indicate an increase in the number of MMD patients or an underestimation of the actual number of MMD patients in the past.
