Deep learning for prediction of post-thrombectomy outcomes based on admission CT angiography in large vessel occlusion stroke.

Purpose: Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) is the first line of imaging in the diagnosis of Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO) strokes. We trained and independently validated end-to-end automated deep learning pipelines to predict 3-month outcomes after anterior circulation LVO thrombectomy based on admission CTAs.

Methods: We split a dataset of 591 patients into training/cross-validation (n = 496) and independent test set (n = 95).

Radiomic Features of Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage on Non-Contrast CT Associated with Patient Survival.

The mortality rate of acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) can reach up to 40%. Although the radiomics of ICH have been linked to hematoma expansion and outcomes, no research to date has explored their correlation with mortality. In this study, we determined the admission non-contrast head CT radiomic correlates of survival in supratentorial ICH, using the Antihypertensive Treatment of Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage II (ATACH-II) trial dataset.

Peri-hematomal edema shape features related to 3-month outcome in acute supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage.

Introduction: Perihematomal edema (PHE) represents secondary brain injury and a potential treatment target in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, studies differ on optimal PHE volume metrics as prognostic factor(s) after spontaneous, non-traumatic ICH. This study examines associations of baseline and 24-h PHE shape features with 3-month outcomes.
