Perfusion imaging plays a crucial role in acute stroke diagnosis and treatment decision making. Current perfusion analysis relies on deconvolution of the measured signals, an operation that is mathematically ill-conditioned and requires…
Dynamic computed tomography perfusion (CTP) imaging is a promising approach for acute ischemic stroke diagnosis and evaluation. Hemodynamic parametric maps of cerebral parenchyma are calculated from repeated CT scans of the first pass of…
Purpose: In this study we investigate whether a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) can generate clinically relevant parametric maps from CT perfusion data in a clinical setting of patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods: Training of…
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 CT perfusion (CTP) is a medical exam for measuring the passage of a bolus of contrast solution through the brain on a pixel-by-pixel basis. The objective is to draw "perfusion maps" (namely cerebral blood volume, cerebral blood flow and…
Perfusion imaging is crucial in acute ischemic stroke for quantifying the salvageable penumbra and irreversibly damaged core lesions. As such, it helps clinicians to decide on the optimal reperfusion treatment. In perfusion CT imaging,…
Perfusion analysis computes blood flow parameters (blood volume, blood flow, mean transit time) from the observed flow of contrast agent, passing through the patient's vascular system. Perfusion deconvolution has been widely accepted as the…
More than 13 million people suffer from ischemic cerebral stroke worldwide each year. Thrombolytic treatment can reduce brain damage but has a narrow treatment window. Computed Tomography Perfusion imaging is a commonly used primary…
Dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI) is widely used to evaluate acute ischemic stroke to distinguish salvageable tissue and infarct core. For this purpose, traditional methods employ deconvolution techniques,…
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…
Convolution and deconvolution are essential techniques in various fields, notably in medical imaging, where they play a crucial role in analyzing dynamic processes such as blood flow. This paper explores the convolution and deconvolution of…
CT perfusion imaging (CTP) plays an important role in decision making for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion. Since the CT perfusion scan time is approximately one minute, the patient is exposed to a…
CT perfusion imaging (CTP) is used in the diagnostic workup of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). CTP may be performed within the angio suite using flat detector CT (FDCT) to help reduce patient management time. In order to significantly improve…
Infarcted brain tissue resulting from acute stroke readily shows up as hyperintense regions within diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI). It has also been proposed that computed tomography perfusion (CTP) could alternatively…
Stroke is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. Accurate outcome and evolution prediction has the potential to revolutionize stroke care by individualizing clinical decision-making leading to better outcomes. However, despite a…
In many low-to-middle income (LMIC) countries, ultrasound is used for assessment of pleural effusion. Typically, the extent of the effusion is manually measured by a sonographer, leading to significant intra-/inter-observer variability. In…
To shorten the door-to-puncture time for better treating patients with acute ischemic stroke, it is highly desired to obtain quantitative cerebral perfusion images using C-arm cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) equipped in the…
In this work, we present a novel convolutional neural net- work based method for perfusion map generation in dynamic suscepti- bility contrast-enhanced perfusion imaging. The proposed architecture is trained end-to-end and solely relies on…
CT perfusion (CTP) has been used to triage ischemic stroke patients in the early stage, because of its speed, availability, and lack of contraindications. Perfusion parameters including cerebral blood volume (CBV), cerebral blood flow…
Objective: We aim to provide an algorithm for the detection of myocardial infarction that operates directly on ECG data without any preprocessing and to investigate its decision criteria. Approach: We train an ensemble of fully…
