Abstract
BACKGROUND: Approximately 20-30 % of patients with acute ischemic stroke due to lacunar infarction experience early neurological deterioration (END) within the first three days after onset, leading to disability or more severe sequelae. Hemodynamic perfusion deficits may play a crucial role in END, causing growth in the infarcted area and functional impairments, and even poor long-term prognosis. Therefore, it is vitally important to predict which patients may be at risk of perfusion deficits to initiate treatment and close monitoring early, preparing for potential reperfusion. Our goal is to utilize radiomic features from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and machine learning techniques to develop a predictive model for hypoperfusion.
