Artificial intelligence techniques are widely used in medical imaging and diagnostics. In this retrospective study, a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture was developed to classify intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) on Susceptibility Weighted Images (SWI). The dataset used was a total of 3965 SWI image slices of DAVF patients and 4380 images of controls. The proposed classifier showed significant accuracy in the diagnosis of DAVF and it could be developed as a computer assisted diagnosis tool to identify unsuspected DAVF in routine MR imaging.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
