Abstract

BACKGROUND: Deep learning techniques can outperform traditional machine learning techniques and learn from unstructured and perceptual data, such as images and languages. We evaluated whether a convolutional neural network (CNN) model using whole axial brain T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images as input data can help predict motor outcomes of the upper and lower limbs at the chronic stage in stroke patients.
