Purpose: Infarct lesion volume (ILV) may serve as an imaging biomarker for clinical outcomes in the early post-treatment stage in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to evaluate the inter- and intra-rater reliability of manual segmentation of ILV on follow-up non-contrast CT (NCCT) scans. Methods: Fifty patients from the Prove-IT study were randomly selected for this analysis. Three raters manually segmented ILV on 24-h NCCT scans, slice by slice, three times. The reference standard for ILV was generated by the Simultaneous Truth And Performance Level estimation (STAPLE) algorithm. Intra- and inter-rater reliability was evaluated, using metrics of intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) regarding lesion volume and the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC). Results: Median age of the 50 subjects included was 74.5 years (interquartile range [IQR] 67–80), 54% were women, median baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale was 18 (IQR 11–22), median baseline ASPECTS was 9 (IQR 6–10). The mean reference standard ILV was 92.5 ml (standard deviation (SD) ± 100.9 ml). The manually segmented ILV ranged from 88.2 ± 91.5 to 135.5 ± 119.9 ml (means referring to the variation between readers, SD within readers). Inter-rater ICC was 0.83 (95%CI: 0.76–0.88); intra-rater ICC ranged from 0.85 (95%CI: 0.72–0.92) to 0.95 (95%CI: 0.91–0.97). The mean DSC among the three readers ranged from 65.5 ± 22.9 to 76.4 ± 17.1% and the mean overall DSC was 72.8 ± 23.0%. Conclusion: Manual ILV measurements on follow-up CT scans are reliable to measure the radiological outcome despite some variability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
