OBJECT: Ischemic stroke readmission within 90 days of hospital discharge is an important quality of care metric. The readmission rates of ischemic stroke patients are usually higher than those of patients with other chronic diseases. Our aim was to i...
The use of Computed Tomography (CT) imaging for patients with stroke symptoms is an essential step for triaging and diagnosis in many hospitals. However, the subtle expression of ischemia in acute CT images has made it hard for automated methods to e...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Pneumonia is a common complication after stroke, causing an increased length of hospital stay and death. Therefore, the timely and accurate prediction of post-stroke pneumonia would be highly valuable in clinical practice. Pre...
Background and Purpose- The availability of and expertise to interpret advanced neuroimaging recommended in the guideline-based endovascular stroke therapy (EST) evaluation are limited. Here, we develop and validate an automated machine learning-base...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the application of clinical pathway simulation in machine learning, using clinical audit data, in order to identify key drivers for improving use and speed of thrombolysis at individual hospitals.
Decisions regarding acute stroke treatment rely heavily on imaging, but interpretation can be difficult for physicians. Machine learning methods can assist clinicians by providing tissue outcome predictions for different treatment approaches based on...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Accurate automated infarct segmentation is needed for acute ischemic stroke studies relying on infarct volumes as an imaging phenotype or biomarker that require large numbers of subjects. This study investigated whether an ens...
Background and Purpose- Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) is a useful tool in the evaluation of acute ischemic stroke, where it can provide an estimate of the ischemic core and the ischemic penumbra. The optimal CTP parameters to identify the ische...
