Deep Learning Segmentation of Diffusion-Weighted MRI Acute Ischaemic Stroke: A Pragmatic Evaluation Across Three Datasets

The study evaluated a pragmatic deep‑learning approach for segmenting acute ischemic stroke lesions on diffusion‑weighted MRI. Using a self‑configured nnU‑Net trained on 1,744 cases and tested on 436, the baseline model achieved a median Dice similarity coefficient of 0.84, outperforming the DeepISLES ensemble, especially for smaller infarcts. The approach required minimal preprocessing and fast inference, suggesting it could streamline clinical stroke imaging workflows.

Ischemic Stroke Segmentation and Net Water Uptake Quantification on Multicenter Non-Contrast CT Using Supervised Target-Domain Adaptation

This study presents a domain-aware deep learning framework based on nnU-Net for segmenting ischemic stroke lesions on non‑contrast CT scans and quantifying net water uptake (NWU). Trained on data from Hamburg and the Acute Ischemic Stroke Dataset, the model was fine‑tuned on small target‑domain subsets from Boston and ISLES, achieving median Dice scores of 0.68 and 0.56 for lesions ≥30 mL, and an NWU mean absolute error of 1.37 percentage points on the Boston cohort. The results demonstrate that target‑domain adaptation can enable accurate NCCT‑only infarct segmentation and low‑error NWU estimation across heterogeneous multicenter datasets.
