Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Magnetic resonance imaging has high sensitivity in detecting early brainstem infarction (EBI). However, MRI is not practical for all patients who present with possible stroke and would lead to delayed treatment. The detection rate of EBI on non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) is currently very low. Thus, we aimed to develop and validate the radiomics feature-based machine learning models to detect EBI (RMEBIs) on NCCT.
