Brain stroke computed tomography images analysis using image processing: A Review

Abstract

<span lang="EN-US">Stroke is the second-leading cause of death globally; therefore, it needs immediate treatment to prevent the brain from damage. Neuroimaging technique for stroke detection such as computed tomography (CT) has been widely used for emergency setting that can provide precise information on an obvious difference between white and gray matter. CT is the comprehensively utilized medical imaging technology for bone, soft tissue, and blood vessels imaging. A fully automatic segmentation became a significant contribution to help neuroradiologists achieve fast and accurate interpretation based on the region of interest (ROI). This review paper aims to identify, critically appraise, and summarize the evidence of the relevant studies needed by researchers. Systematic literature review (SLR) is the most efficient way to obtain reliable and valid conclusions as well as to reduce mistakes. Throughout the entire review process, it has been observed that the segmentation techniques such as fuzzy C-mean, thresholding, region growing, k-means, and watershed segmentation techniques were regularly used by researchers to segment CT scan images. This review is also impactful in identifying the best automated segmentation technique to evaluate brain stroke and is expected to contribute new information in the area of stroke research.</span>

Feature Fusion-based Brain Stroke Identification Model Using Computed Tomography Images

“…Most research studies have recently focused on creating computer models to detect strokes using sophisticated ML methods and medical imaging technologies, including CT and MRI. DL is an effective technique for analyzing medical images (Ali et al, 2021) DL models trained on CT images for BS diagnosis may be restricted to applying their knowledge across other patient demographics, kinds of scanners, and imaging methods (Kanchana and Menaka, 2020;Phaphuangwittayakul et al, 2022). It is necessary to conduct research that confirms these models' effectiveness on various datasets to verify their dependability in real-world clinical environments.…”

Automated Identification and Reconstruction of 3D Images on the Mastoid Air Cell System

“…MACS detection is obtained through a segmentation process to get the desired area ROI [26], [27]. This stage aims to separate the object into several segments from a set of pixel values [28] by calculating the optimal threshold value automatically for each test image.…”
