Automatic Detection, Localization, and Volume Estimation of Ischemic Infarcts in Noncontrast Computed Tomographic Scans

Abstract

The results demonstrate potential benefits of our method for enhancing expert's performance because it quickly localizes the infarct and detects cases missed by experts, and it is to be considered as an aid in the emergency department because it substantially outperforms novice readers (100% vs 27%) in infarct detection on NCCT.
