ICH could lead to disability or death if it is not accurately diagnosed and treated in a time-sensitive procedure. The current clinical protocol to diagnose ICH is examining Computerized Tomography (CT) scans by radiologists to detect ICH and localize its regions. However, this process relies heavily on the availability of an experienced radiologist. In this paper, we designed a study protocol to collect a dataset of 82 CT scans of subjects with a traumatic brain injury. Next, the ICH regions were manually delineated in each slice by a consensus decision of two radiologists. The dataset is publicly available online at the PhysioNet repository for future analysis and comparisons. In addition to publishing the dataset, which is the main purpose of this manuscript, we implemented a deep Fully Convolutional Networks (FCNs), known as U-Net, to segment the ICH regions from the CT scans in a fully-automated manner. The method as a proof of concept achieved a Dice coefficient of 0.31 for the ICH segmentation based on 5-fold cross-validation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/data5010014","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,3]],"date-time":"2020-02-03T11:28:31Z","timestamp":1580729311000},"page":"14","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":214,"title":["Intracranial Hemorrhage Segmentation Using a Deep Convolutional Model"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"5","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8588-4639","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Murtadha D.","family":"Hssayeni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL 33431, USA"},{"name":"Computer Engineering Department, University of Technology, Baghdad 10001, Iraq"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5269-0697","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muayad S.","family":"Croock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Engineering Department, University of Technology, Baghdad 10001, Iraq"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1435-725X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aymen D.","family":"Salman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Engineering Department, University of Technology, Baghdad 10001, Iraq"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hassan Falah","family":"Al-khafaji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Babylon Health Directorate, Babil 51001, Iraq"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zakaria A.","family":"Yahya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Babylon Health Directorate, Babil 51001, Iraq"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0075-7663","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Behnaz","family":"Ghoraani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL 33431, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Traumatic brain injury-related emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and deaths-United States, 2007 and 2013","volume":"66","author":"Taylor","year":"2017","journal-title":"Morb.
