Classification of Intracranial Hemorrhage Subtypes Using Deep Learning on CT Scans

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2020 Jun 26:272:370-373. doi: 10.3233/SHTI200572.

Abstract

Intracranial hemorrhage is a pathological condition that requires fast diagnosis and decision making. Recently, a neural network model for classification of different intracranial hemorrhage types was proposed by a member of our research group Konstantin Kotik as part of the machine learning competition at Kaggle. Our current pilot study aimed to test this model on real-world CT scans from patients with intracranial hemorrhage treated at N.N. Burdenko Neurosurgery Center. The deep learning model for intracranial hemorrhage classification based on ResNexT architecture showed an accuracy of detection greater than 0.81 for every subtype of hemorrhage without any tuning. We expect further improvement in the model performance.
