Abstract
Stroke or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) disease is one of the leading causes of death, due to its difficult diagnosis. The speed of its treatment has a direct impact on patients' lives. Acute ischemic lesions occur in most CVA patients. Although FLAIR and diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) are sensitive to these lesions, localizing and assessing them manually is time consuming and challenging for clinicians. In this paper, we present an effective method to detect and segment stroke lesions in multimodal MR images using mask region-based convolutional neural network (MASK R-CNN). It is validated on a large dataset comprising clinical acquired multimodal MR images including FLAIR, T2 and DWI from 37 subjects. The mean average precision (mAP) metric based on testing subjects with small and large lesions is 0.81.
