We tackle the clinical issue of predicting the final lesion in stroke from early perfusion magnetic resonance imaging. We demonstrate here the value of exploiting directly the raw perfusion data by encoding the local environment of each voxel as a spatio-temporal texture. As an illustration for this approach, the textures are characterized with Haralick coefficients computed on co-occurrence matrices and a standard support vector machine classifier is used for the classification. This simple machine learning classification scheme demonstrates good results while working on raw perfusion data.
