Computed Tomography Perfusion-Based Prediction of Core Infarct and Tissue at Risk: Can Artificial Intelligence Help Reduce Radiation Exposure?

Artificial intelligence model-derived volumes show good correlation with RAPID-derived volumes for CBF and Tmax. Within the constraints of a small sample size, the perfusion map quality is similar when using 14-tp instead of 28-tp. Our findings provide proof of concept that vendor neutral artificial intelligence models for computed tomographic perfusion processing using complete or partial image data sets appear feasible. The model accuracy could be further optimized using larger data sets.
