A Fast-Processing Pipeline for Three-dimensional Visualization of Acute Ischemic Stroke lesion topography

Ischemic stroke is the most common neurological disease. Previous researches have proven that ischemic lesion topography in specific brain structural regions and vascular territories are critical for outcome prediction and personalized treatment plan making. Compared to traditional two-dimensional visualization, computerized three-dimensional visualization provides more complete and interactive information regarding the ischemic lesion topography. In this paper, we propose a fast-processing pipeline for three-dimensional visualization of ischemic lesion topography. The pipeline is able to achieve in average 80.3% similarity with the traditional pipeline in terms of dice score while greatly shorten the processing time.
