Summary
Computed tomography (CT) aids in diagnosing and predicting outcomes for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Advanced CT imaging and AI methods show promise for personalized treatment and risk stratification in ICH patients.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Radiology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) presents significant morbidity and mortality.
- Computed tomography (CT) is crucial for diagnosing and researching cerebrovascular diseases.
- Non-contrast CT offers rapid, sensitive, and specific stroke detection.
Purpose of the Study:
- To comprehensively review current research on CT for predicting hematoma expansion (HE) and prognosis in ICH.
- To explore the role of CT imaging markers, quantitative parameters, and AI in ICH management.
- To identify challenges and future research directions in CT-based ICH assessment.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of studies focusing on CT applications in ICH.
- Analysis of CT imaging markers, quantitative parameters, and AI methods.
- Evaluation of evidence for predicting hematoma expansion and patient prognosis.
Main Results:
- CT, including non-contrast scans, is vital for ICH diagnosis and stroke detection.
- CT-based markers, parameters, and AI are increasingly used for predicting HE, prognosis, and perihematomal edema (PHE).
- Current ICH prognosis remains challenging, with controversial treatment options.
Conclusions:
- Identifying reliable CT imaging markers is essential for predicting therapeutic targets and improving ICH patient outcomes.
- CT-based risk stratification can guide individualized treatment strategies for ICH.
- Further research is needed to overcome limitations and advance CT's role in managing ICH.
