Voxel-wise density-based clustering of infarct lesions topographic distribution : The first step towards a stroke atlas for the brain

Objective The supply territories of main cerebral arteries are predominantly identified based on distribution of infarct lesions in patients with large arterial occlusion; whereas, there is no consensus atlas regarding the supply territories of smaller end-arteries. In this study, we applied a data-driven approach to construct a stroke atlas of the brain using hierarchical density clustering Drs. Wang and Payabvash contributed equally to this work.
