This study introduces a new two-stage method for detecting cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) using artificial intelligence. The AI model achieves high accuracy with minimal training data, making it accessible for smaller clinics.

Area of Science:

Medical Imaging
Artificial Intelligence in Diagnostics
Neurology

Background:

Accurate detection of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) is crucial but challenging in medical diagnostics.
Current semi-automatic methods for CMB detection often require large datasets, limiting their applicability.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel, two-stage AI workflow for detecting cerebral microbleeds (CMBs).
To enable effective CMB detection using small, localized datasets, addressing limitations of current methods.

Main Methods:

A two-stage approach was implemented, starting with a 3D U-Net for initial CMB localization in SWI MRI.
A subsequent 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) was used for discriminating true CMBs from mimics.

Main Results:

Keywords:

The proposed workflow achieved a high sensitivity of 97.5% on a small dataset (15 MRI scans, 40 CMBs).
Demonstrated effective CMB detection performance with limited training samples.

Conclusions:

A highly sensitive CMB detection workflow can be developed using minimal training data.
This approach empowers smaller radiological facilities to train AI models with their own datasets.
Further validation on larger, diverse datasets is recommended.
