Computed Tomography (CT) is commonly used to image acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients, but its interpretation by radiologists is time-consuming and subject to inter-observer variability. Deep learning (DL) techniques can provide automated…
Ischemic stroke is a severe condition caused by the blockage of brain blood vessels, and can lead to the death of brain tissue due to oxygen deprivation. Thrombectomy has become a common treatment choice for ischemic stroke due to its…
Treatment of acute ischemic strokes (AIS) is largely contingent upon the time since stroke onset (TSS). However, TSS may not be readily available in up to 25% of patients with unwitnessed AIS. Current clinical guidelines for patients with…
Mechanical thrombectomy has become the standard of care in patients with stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO). However, only 50% of successfully treated patients show a favorable outcome. We developed and evaluated interpretable deep…
Recent randomised clinical trials have shown that patients with ischaemic stroke {due to occlusion of a large intracranial blood vessel} benefit from endovascular thrombectomy. However, predicting outcome of treatment in an individual…
Brain stroke is a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability worldwide, underscoring the need for precise and rapid prediction techniques. Computed Tomography (CT) scan is considered one of the most effective methods for diagnosing…
The preservation of the corticospinal tract (CST) is key to good motor recovery after stroke. The gold standard method of assessing the CST with imaging is diffusion tensor tractography. However, this is not available for most intracerebral…
Precise and fast prediction methods for ischemic areas comprised of dead tissue, core, and salvageable tissue, penumbra, in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients are of significant clinical interest. They play an essential role in improving…
The accurate prognosis for traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients is difficult yet essential to inform therapy, patient management, and long-term after-care. Patient characteristics such as age, motor and pupil responsiveness, hypoxia and…
The hyperdense middle cerebral artery (MCA) dot sign has been reported as an important factor in the diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. Interpreting the initial CT brain scan in these patients requires high…
Purpose: Multi-expert deep learning training methods to automatically quantify ischemic brain tissue on Non-Contrast CT Materials and Methods: The data set consisted of 260 Non-Contrast CTs from 233 patients of acute ischemic stroke…
In this paper, an automatic algorithm aimed at volumetric segmentation of acute ischemic stroke lesion in non-contrast computed tomography brain 3D images is proposed. Our deep-learning approach is based on the popular 3D U-Net…
Stroke is the second most common cause of death in developed countries, where rapid clinical intervention can have a major impact on a patient's life. To perform the revascularization procedure, the decision making of physicians considers…
A stroke occurs when an artery in the brain ruptures and bleeds or when the blood supply to the brain is cut off. Blood and oxygen cannot reach the brain's tissues due to the rupture or obstruction resulting in tissue death. The Middle…
Stroke is among the top three causes of death worldwide, and accurate identification of ischemic stroke lesion boundaries from imaging is critical for diagnosis and treatment. The main imaging modalities used include magnetic resonance…
The cornerstone of stroke care is expedient management that varies depending on the time since stroke onset. Consequently, clinical decision making is centered on accurate knowledge of timing and often requires a radiologist to interpret…
Thrombectomy is one of the most effective treatments for ischemic stroke, but it is resource and personnel-intensive. We propose employing deep learning to automate critical aspects of thrombectomy, thereby enhancing efficiency and safety.…
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death globally, making early and accurate diagnosis essential for improving patient outcomes, particularly in emergency settings where timely intervention is critical. CT scans are the key imaging…
Computerized Tomography Angiography (CTA) based follow-up of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) treated with Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) is essential to evaluate the progress of the patient and detect complications. In this context,…
Machine learning can be used to analyse physiological data for several purposes. Detection of cerebral ischemia is an achievement that would have high impact on patient care. We attempted to study if collection of continous physiological…
