Abstract
INTRODUCTION: When time since stroke onset is unknown, DWI-FLAIR mismatch rating is an established technique for patient stratification. A visible DWI lesion without corresponding parenchymal hyperintensity on FLAIR suggests time since onset of under 4.5 h and thus a potential benefit from intravenous thrombolysis. To improve accuracy and availability of the mismatch concept, deep learning might be able to augment human rating and support decision-making in these cases.
