Impact of Upstream Medical Image Processing on Downstream Performance of a Head CT Triage Neural Network.

A CNN was developed to triage HCT studies, which may help streamline image evaluation, and the means by which upstream image acquisition, reconstruction, and preprocessing affect downstream CNN performance was investigated, bringing focus to this important part of the imaging chain.Keywords Head CT, Automated Triage, Deep Learning, Sinogram, DatasetSupplemental material is available for this article.© RSNA, 2021.
