The classification of cerebral regions into normal and infarcted tissues based on Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) characteristics plays a critical role in MRI based stroke patient management. The use of both DWI images and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) maps may achieve better classification accuracy than using ADC or DWI alone. In this work, we presented a dual feature (ADC and DWI) based Receiver Operating Characteristic analysis and proposed a novel acute ischemic infarct classification criteria. Results demonstrate better agreement with ground-truth using dual features (specificity-98%; sensitivity-60%) as compared to ADC alone based infarct segmentation (specificity-96%; sensitivity-53%) in 65 subjects.
