3d Convolutional Neural Networks For The Diagnosis Of 6 Unique Pathologies On Head Ct, Travis Clarke, Paras Lakhani, Md

Phase 1

Introduction: Head CT scans are a standard first-line tool used by physicians in the diagnosis of neurological pathologies. Recently, the development of deep learning models such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) has allowed the rapid identification of bleeds and other pathologies on CT scans. This study aims to show that by training 3D CNNs with a larger, curated dataset, a more comprehensive list of potential diagnoses can be included in the detailed model.

Methods: A retrospective study was performed using a dataset of 66,000 head CT studies from the Thomas Jefferson University health system. Studies were acquired using a natural …
