Automatic segmentation of hemispheric CSF on MRI using deep learning : Quantifying cerebral edema following large hemispheric infarction

© 2024 The Authors..

Background and objective: Cerebral edema (CED) is a serious complication of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), especially in patients with large hemispheric infarction (LHI). Herein, a deep learning-based approach is implemented to extract CSF from T2-Weighted Imaging (T2WI) and evaluate the relationship between quantified cerebrospinal fluid and outcomes.

Methods: Patients with acute LHI who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were included. We used a deep learning algorithm to segment the CSF from T2WI. The hemispheric CSF ratio was calculated to evaluate its relationship with the degree of brain edema and prognosis in patients with LHI.

Results: For the 93 included patients, the left and right cerebrospinal fluid regions were automatically extracted with a mean Dice similarity coefficient of 0.830. Receiver operating characteristic analysis indicated that hemispheric CSF ratio was an accurate marker for qualitative severe cerebral edema (area under receiver-operating-characteristic curve 0.867 [95% CI, 0.781-0.929]). Multivariate logistic regression analysis of functional prognosis showed that previous stroke (OR = 5.229, 95% CI 1.013-26.984), ASPECT≤6 (OR = 13.208, 95% CI 1.136-153.540) and low hemispheric CSF ratio (OR = 0.966, 95% CI 0.937-0.997) were significantly associated with higher chances for unfavorable functional outcome in patients with LHI.

Conclusions: Automated assessment of CSF volume provides an objective biomarker of cerebral edema that can be leveraged to quantify the degree of cerebral edema and confirm its predictive effect on outcomes after LHI.
