Abstract
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a leading cause of death
and disability worldwide. Early and rapid diagnosis is
critical for improved patient outcomes as treatment is time
sensitive and relies heavily on diagnostic imaging. Noncontrast
CT (NCCT) is the typical triage imaging study for
AIS as it is fast and widely available, however it lacks
sensitivity for detecting early ischemia, often necessitating
additional advanced imaging. Net water uptake (NWU) is a
region-of-interest measurement that quantifies tissue
edema to identify ischemia, however its usage is limited by
the need for CT perfusion imaging. This study proposes an
innovative artificial intelligence (AI) method to generate
whole brain high spatial resolution NWU maps derived from
NCCT alone, presenting a promising neuroimaging
biomarker for the detection of early ischemia and prediction
of lesion reversibility.
