Mahsa Asadi Anar: The Next Challenge for AI in Stroke Imaging
Mahsa Asadi Anar, Founder of Mediverse Research Center, shared on LinkedIn about a recent article she and her colleagues co-authored, published in BioMedical Engineering OnLine, adding:
”Stroke imaging is one of the areas where AI can make a real clinical difference, but only if the models are tested carefully.
In our new paper we meta-analyzed 101 studies on machine learning models for acute ischemic stroke lesion segmentation.
The results were encouraging.
Deep learning models, especially U-Net-based architectures, showed strong performance, with pooled estimates of Dice 0.84, AUC 0.91, accuracy 0.89, sensitivity 0.85, and specificity 0.93.
But the main message is not just that AI performs well.
The field now needs stronger external validation, clearer reporting, and real testing in clinical workflows before these tools can be trusted at scale.
Love the outcomes Mediverse had this past month!
Cheers to more.”
