Abstract
PURPOSE: Post-stroke cognitive impairment can affect up to one third of stroke survivors. Since cognitive function greatly contributes to patients' quality of life, an objective quantitative biomarker for early prediction of dementia after stroke is required. We developed a deep-learning (DL)-based signature using positron emission tomography (PET) to objectively evaluate cognitive decline in patients with stroke.
