Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to identify brain disorders, particularly strokes. Rapid treatment, often referred to as "time is brain," is emphasized in recent studies, stressing the significance of early intervention within six hours of stroke onset to save lives and enhance outcomes. The traditional manual diagnosis of brain strokes by neuroradiologists is both subjective and time-intensive. To tackle this challenge, this study introduces an automated method for classify brain stroke from MRI images based on pre- and post-stroke patients. The technique employs machine learning, with a focus on susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) sequences, and involves four stages: preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, classification and performance evaluation. The paper proposes classification and performance evaluation to determine stroke region according to three types of categories, those are poor improvement, moderate improvement and good improvement stroke patients based on pre and post patients. Then, performance evaluation is verified using accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. Results indicate that the hybrid support vector machine and bagged tree (SVMBT) yields the best performance for stroke lesion classification, achieving the highest accuracy which is 99% and showing significant improvement for stroke patients. In conclusion, the proposed stroke classification technique demonstrates promising potential for brain stroke diagnosis, offering an efficient and automated tool to assist medical professionals in timely and accurate assessments.
