Abstract

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: ASPECTS is a long-standing and well-documented selection criterion for acute ischemic stroke treatment; however, the interpretation of ASPECTS is a challenging and time-consuming task for physicians with notable interobserver variabilities. We conducted a multireader, multicase study in which readers assessed ASPECTS without and with the support of a deep learning (DL)-based algorithm to analyze the impact of the software on clinicians' performance and interpretation time.
