BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) was devised as a systematic method to assess the extent of early ischemic change on noncontrast CT (NCCT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Our aim was to automate ASPECTS to objectively score NCCT of AIS patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We collected NCCT images with a 5-mm thickness of 257 patients with acute ischemic stroke ( 8 hours from onset to scans) followed by a diffusion-weighted imaging acquisition within 1 hour. Expert ASPECTS readings on DWI were used as ground truth. Texture features were extracted from each ASPECTS region of the 157 training patient images to train a random forest classifier. The unseen 100 testing patient images were used to evaluate the performance of the trained classifier.
