AI Technical Summary
The accurate identification and quantification of ischemic changes in brain images after stroke are hindered by non-optimal patient orientation, slice thickness, and inter-user variability in two-dimensional CT scans, leading to reduced quality of ASPECTS scoring.
A regions identifying apparatus and method that utilizes a three-dimensional model of the brain with triangulated mesh boundaries to identify ASPECTS regions in three-dimensional images, allowing for orientation and user-independent segmentation and scoring, including the application of a score determination unit to assess ischemic changes based on image values.
This approach enhances the accuracy and consistency of ASPECTS region identification and scoring, improving the quantification of ischemic changes and facilitating better treatment recommendations by reducing computational efforts and dependency on image orientation and user variability.
