PURPOSE: To compare physicians' ability to read Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) in patients with a large vessel occlusion within 6 hours of symptom onset when assisted by a machine learning-based automatic software tool, compared with...
The automated and accurate carotid plaque segmentation in B-mode ultrasound (US) is an essential part of stroke risk stratification. Previous segmented methods used AtheroEdge™ 2.0 (AtheroPoint™, Roseville, CA) for the common carotid artery (CCA). Th...

CONTEXT: The resection plan of pituitary adenoma (PA) needs preoperative observation of the sellar region. Radiomics prediction requires high-quality segmentations. Manual delineation is time-consuming and subject to rater variability.
To evaluate the ability of a commercialized deep learning reconstruction technique to depict intracranial vessels on the brain computed tomography angiography and compare the image quality with filtered-back-projection and hybrid iterative reconstruc...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis of a major intracranial artery is the common cause of ischemic stroke. We evaluate the feasibility of using deep learning to automatically detect intracranial arterial steno-occlusive l...
BACKGROUND: Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) duration is an important predictor for neurological outcome. Recently it was shown that an angle of ≤ 90° of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is predictive for longer EVT duration. As manual angle measurem...

Three-dimensional vessel model reconstruction from patient-specific magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) images often requires some manual maneuvers. This study aimed to establish the deep learning (DL)-based method for vessel model reconstruction. T...
Dynamic 2-[18F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography (dFDG-PET) for human brain imaging has considerable clinical potential, yet its utilization remains limited. A key challenge in the quantitative analysis of dFDG-PET is characteriz...
