Background and Purpose: We explored the feasibility of automated, arterial input function independent, vendor neutral prediction of core infarct, and penumbral tissue using complete and partial computed tomographic perfusion data sets through neural networks. Methods: Using retrospective computed tomographic perfusion data from 57 patients, split as training/validation (60%/40%), we developed and validated separate 2-dimensional U-net models for cerebral blood flow (CBF) and time to maximum (Tmax) maps calculation to predict core infarct and tissue at risk, respectively. Once trained, the full sets of 28 input images were sequentially reduced to equitemporal 14, 10, and 7 time points. The averaged structural similarity index measure between the model-derived images and ground truth perfusion maps was compared. Volumes for core infarct and Tmax were compared using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: Both CBF and Tmax maps derived using 28 and 14 time points had similar structural similarity index measure (0.80–0.81;P &gt;0.05) when compared with ground truth images. The Pearson correlation for the CBF and Tmax volumes derived from the model using 28-tp with ground truth volumes derived from the RAPID software was 0.69 for CBF and 0.74 for Tmax. The predicted maps were fully concordant in terms of laterality to the commercial perfusion maps. The mean Dice scores were 0.54 for the core infarct and 0.63 for the hypoperfusion maps.ConclusionS: Artificial intelligence model-derived volumes show good correlation with RAPID-derived volumes for CBF and Tmax. Within the constraints of a small sample size, the perfusion map quality is similar when using 14-tp instead of 28-tp. Our findings provide proof of concept that vendor neutral artificial intelligence models for computed tomographic perfusion processing using complete or partial image data sets appear feasible. The model accuracy could be further optimized using larger data sets.
