Abstrakt:	Background and Purpose: The DWI-FLAIR mismatch is used to determine thrombolytic eligibility in patients with acute ischemic stroke when the time since stroke onset is unknown. Commercial software packages have been developed for automated DWI-FLAIR classification. We aimed to use e-Stroke software for automated classification of the DWI-FLAIR mismatch in a cohort of patients with acute ischemic stroke and in a comparative analysis with 2 expert neuroradiologists. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, patients with acute ischemic stroke who had MR imaging and known time since stroke onset were included. The DWI-FLAIR mismatch was evaluated by 2 neuroradiologists blinded to the time since stroke onset and automatically by the e-Stroke software. After 4 weeks, the neuroradiologists re-evaluated the MR images, this time equipped with automated predicted e-Stroke results as a computer-assisted tool. Diagnostic performances of e-Stroke software and the neuroradiologists were evaluated for prediction of DWI-FLAIR mismatch status. Results: A total of 157 patients met the inclusion criteria. A total of 82 patients (52%) had a time since stroke onset of ≤4.5 hours. By means of consensus reads, 81 patients (51.5%) had a DWI-FLAIR mismatch. The diagnostic accuracy (area under the curve/sensitivity/specificity) of e-Stroke software for the determination of the DWI-FLAIR mismatch was 0.72/90.0/53.9. The diagnostic accuracy (area under the curve/sensitivity/specificity) for neuroradiologists 1 and 2 was 0.76/69.1/84.2 and 0.82/91.4/73.7, respectively; both significantly ( P  < .05) improved to 0.83/79.0/86.8 and 0.89/92.6/85.5, respectively, following the use of e-Stroke predictions as a computer-assisted tool. The interrater agreement (κ) for determination of DWI-FLAIR status was improved from 0.49 to 0.57 following the use of the computer-assisted tool. Conclusions: This automated quantitative approach for DWI-FLAIR mismatch provides results comparable with those of human experts and can improve the diagnostic accuracies of expert neuroradiologists in the determination of DWI-FLAIR status.
