Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Moyamoya disease is a unique cerebrovascular disorder that is characterized by chronic bilateral stenosis of the internal carotid arteries and by the formation of an abnormal vascular network called moyamoya vessels. In this stury, the authors inspected whether differentiation between patients with moyamoya disease and those with atherosclerotic disease or normal controls might be possible by using deep machine learning technology.
