DWI is a reliable and routinely-used modality in the acute setting of ischemic stroke. Automated approaches for outlining the DWI lesion have the potential to assist in the rapid assessment of lesion volumetry in the acute setting of stroke. Our results demonstrate that the segmentation performance of pixel classification approach can be significantly improved with regional analysis, i.e. using a supervised classifier that discriminates false detected regions from true lesion regions in a two-stage classification approach.
