Abstract:

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a neurological condition that results from a blood vessel rupturing into the brain. Manual delineation of ICH is the gold standard but is time-consuming and has variability. We estimated the probability of ICH at a voxel-level using logistic regression with features extracted from X-ray computed tomography (CT) scans. We used 112 patients from MISTIE stroke trial, one scan per patient, for model estimation and validation. ICH was manually segmented by expert readers. Binary hemorrhage masks were created: voxels = 1 if the voxel was classified as hemorrhage, 0 otherwise. We derived a set of imaging predictors and used the first 10 scans to fit the model: logit(Y(v)) = ? + ?X(v), where X(v) is a set of features for voxel v and Y(v) is the binary presence of ICH. On 51 validation scans the model classified voxels as ICH or not and we used the Dice Similarity Index (DSI) to estimate model performance which ranges from 0 to 1 (highest). The mean (SD) validation scan DSI was 0.861 (0.05). These results indicate that the approach described can achieve accurate segmentation of ICH in a population of patients from a variety of imaging centers.
