Popis: Objective: The Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) method has been widely used to assess non-contrast CT scans from acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. Although the ASPECTS is a simple and systematic approach, ASPECTS scoring accuracy and reliability is still a challenge to clinicians, especially with limited experience. The objective of this study is to develop an automated ASPECTS scoring method, which could provide objective assessment and decision-making support. Methods: We collected 160 AIS patient NCCT images with thickness of 5mm ( Results: The proposed method generated an individual ASPECTS region level detection accuracy of 85.3% and only a 1-point discrepancy in total ASPECTS scores compared to expert reading on MRI. Bland-Altman plot of automated ASPECTS vs. expert MRI ASPECTS shows good agreement (Figure 1). The automated ASPECTS method has very high agreement (91.3%) and specificity (98.5%) when dichotomized (ASPECTS 0-4 vs. 5-10). Conclusions: The automated ASPECTS scoring approach is reliable and accurate and can potentially be used to make decisions in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
