Abstract

Current methods for radiological classification in traumatic brain injury (TBI), such as the Marshall and Rotterdam score, provide an incomplete description of intracranial lesion burden, rely on time-consuming manual assessments by experts, and are prone to intra- and interrater disagreement. To circumvent these limitations, we previously proposed the Brain Lesion Analysis and Segmentation Tool f…
