Abstract

BACKGROUND: The natural history of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is variable and early diagnosis is crucial in order to positively impact the clinical course of aggressive DAVF. Artificial intelligence (AI) based techniques can be promising in this regard, and in this study, we used various deep neural network (DNN) architectures to determine whether DAVF could be reliably identified on susceptibility-weighted angiography images (SWAN).
