Excerpt

With great interest, we have read the article by Mansour et al. [1], reporting on the use of deep transfer learning to identify early signs of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) on head computed tomography (HCT) scans. The authors report a very high accuracy (0.94) of their model with respect to the detection of HIBI signs on HCT scans performed within hours after the return of spontaneous circulation. The authors conclude that “Deep transfer learning reliably identifies HIBI in normal appearing findings on HCT performed within 3 h after ROSC in comatose survivors of a cardiac arrest” [1]. This interpretation is likely too optimistic. …
