Artificial intelligence techniques are widely used in medical imaging and diagnostics. In this retrospective study, a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture was developed to classify intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) on Susceptibility Weighted Images (SWI). The dataset used was a total of 3965 SWI image slices of DAVF patients and 4380 images of controls. The proposed classifier showed significant accuracy in the diagnosis of DAVF and it could be developed as a computer assisted diagnosis tool to identify unsuspected DAVF in routine MR imaging.
