DWI is a reliable and routinely-used modality in the
acute setting of ischemic stroke. Automated approaches
for outlining the DWI lesion have the potential to
assist in the rapid assessment of lesion volumetry in
the acute setting of stroke. Our results demonstrate
that the segmentation performance of pixel
classification approach can be significantly improved
with regional analysis, i.e. using a supervised
classifier that discriminates false detected regions
from true lesion regions in a two-stage classification
approach.
