Automatic detection, localization, and volume estimation of ischemic infarcts in noncontrast computed tomographic scans: method and preliminary results.

ObjectivesSensitivity of noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) in detecting hyperacute (<8 hours) and acute (<24 hours) cerebral infarction is low. We propose an automatic method to detect and localize ischemic infarct and to assess its volume from a single NCCT scan.Materials and MethodsThe method
