Early detection of Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) and absolute localization of infarct for planning the treatment strategy has always been a challenging task. Huge volumes of images and clinical data are generated when a brain-stroke patient is admitted to the emergency department of a hospital. Doctors may use varieties of images such as Computed Tomography (CT), Computed Tomographic Angiography (CTA), and Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) for diagnosis. Those collected images are highly unstructured and are stored in DICOM and JPG format. Deep learning is part of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that mimics the workings of the human brain in analyzing different formats of image data for use in classifying, localizing, detecting, and segmenting the medical images. In this talk, applications of Deep Learning models will be discussed to localize the lesions of Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) patient’s Non-Contrast CT (NCCT) images for classifying and localizing the ischemic stroke infarct automatically.
