Core Tip
Core Tip: In this article, we discuss the interpretation of medical images for predicting early hematoma enlargement in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage based on radiological features extracted through deep learning and traditional manual interpretation. We argue that artificial intelligence-based computer-aided diagnostic methods used to predict hematoma enlargement in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage on computed tomography images can help clinicians identify patients who would benefit from positive surgical intervention soon after admission.
