Localization of early infarction on first-line Non-contrast computed tomogram (NCCT) guides prompt treatment to improve stroke outcome. Our previous study has shown a good performance in the identification of ischemic injury on NCCT. In the present study, we developed a deep learning (DL) localization model to help localize the early infarction sign on NCCT. This retrospective study included consecutive 517 ischemic stroke (IS) patients who received NCCT within 12 h after stroke onset. A total of 21,436 infarction patches and 20,391 non-infarction patches were extracted from the slice pool of 1,634 NCCT according to brain symmetricity property. The generated patches were fed into different pretrained convolutional neural network (CNN) models such as Visual Geometry Group 16 (VGG16), GoogleNet, Residual Networks 50 (ResNet50), Inception-ResNet-v2 (IR-v2), Inception-v3 and Inception-v4. The selected VGG16 model could detect the early infarction in both supratentorial and infratentorial regions to achieve an average area under curve (AUC) 0.73 after extensive customization. The properly tuned-VGG16 model could identify the early infarction in the cortical, subcortical and cortical plus subcortical areas of supratentorial region with the mean AUC > 0.70. Further, the model could attain 95.6% of accuracy on recognizing infarction lesion in 494 out of 517 IS patients.
