Deep Enhanced Imaging in Stroke and Vascular Neurology

February 7, 2023 updated by: Xin Lou, Chinese PLA General Hospital
To investigate the performance of enhanced computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging by deep learning relative to conventional CT or MR imaging in brain stroke and vascular neurology. We expect that the deep enhanced imaging method can shorten the time stay in the imaging session of stroke patients, optimize the overall imaging quality and improve the patients' care in imaging session.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Early diagnosis of cerebral infarction, detection of ischemic penumbra, evaluation of collateral circulation and identification of vascular lesions by imaging are critical for treatment decision and outcome improvement in cerebral stroke. Multimodal computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging are most prevalent and accessible approaches in clinical scenarios. These two approaches are downgraded either by radiation exposure or long scanning time which may hinder the rapid treatment for patients. Deep learning has shown substantial achievements in medical imaging enhancement. The added value of deep learning method in stroke and vascular neurology has not been thoroughly validated. In this study, we aimed to investigate the performance of enhanced computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging by deep learning relative to conventional CT or MR imaging in brain stroke and vascular neurology. We expect that the deep enhanced imaging method can shorten the time stay in the imaging session of stroke patients, optimize the overall imaging quality and improve the patients' care in imaging session.
