    Fig 1.

    Illustration of the automated CIV segmentation pipeline. This figure shows an infarct in the right hemisphere in a 6-day follow-up CT. A, The unprocessed NCCT. B, A seed point is positioned within the infarcted area by an observer. C, Determination of the midline. D, Segmentation of the ventricles, E, The final segmentation representing the CIV.

    Fig 2.

    Example of incorrect automated segmentation due to hemorrhage and erroneous midline determination. A, NCCT scan of a patient with a midline shift. The blue line indicates the midline determined by the algorithm. The hemorrhage is indicated by the white arrow. B, The infarcted area delineated by observer 1. C, Incorrect outcome of automated segmentation. The hemorrhage is unrecognized as infarct, and the infarcted tissue is shifted over the original midline. This shift results in underestimation of the CIV.

    Fig 3.

    Example of incorrect automated segmentation due to multiple infarcts. A, NCCT scan of a patient with multiple infarcts, 2 new infarcts (black arrows) and 1 old infarct (white arrow). B, The infarcted area delineated by observer 1. C, Incorrect outcome of automated segmentation. The old infarct and one of the new infarcts are unrecognized as infarcts. As a result, the automated segmentation underestimates the CIV.
