Abstract
BACKGROUND: Malignant cerebral edema (MCE) is a significant complication following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. This study aimed to develop and validate a deep learning-assisted diagnosis model based on the hyperattenuated imaging marker (HIM), characterized by hyperattenuation on head non-contrast computed tomography immediately after thrombectomy, to facilitate radiologists in predicting MCE in patients receiving EVT.
