We studied the feasibility and accuracy of a deep learning algorithm trained on one million realistic synthetic acute stroke lesion images to detect and segment stroke lesions on clinical MR DW images. We compared this method to a more conventional approach, where a deep learning algorithm was trained on 10’000 human labelled images.
