Accurate prediction of the tissue outcome is crucial for guiding treatment decisions in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Spatio-temporal (4D) Computed Tomography Perfusion (CTP) provides detailed insights into cerebral blood flow dynamics, which are essential for predicting final infarct regions.

The results reveal a Dice score of 0.20, an absolute volume difference of 17 ml, a mean lesion count difference of 19, and a lesion-wise F1-Score of 0.02, underscoring both the potential and challenges of directly utilizing 4D CTP data for final infarct prediction.

摘要

Accurate prediction of the tissue outcome is crucial for guiding treatment decisions in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Spatio-temporal (4D) Computed Tomography Perfusion (CTP) provides detailed insights into cerebral blood flow dynamics, which are essential for predicting final infarct regions. However, its high-dimensional and noisy nature presents challenges for direct prediction. In this study, we evaluate a deep learning model that fully leverages 4D CTP data for predicting tissue outcomes. The model integrates a shared-weight convolutional neural network (CNN) encoder, a Transformer encoder, and a CNN decoder to capture both spatial and temporal dependencies within the data. We evaluated this approach on a multicenter dataset of 143 patients from the ISLES 2024 challenge. The results reveal a Dice score of 0.20, an absolute volume difference of 17 ml, a mean lesion count difference of 19, and a lesion-wise F1-Score of 0.02, underscoring both the potential and challenges of directly utilizing 4D CTP data for final infarct prediction.
