Background: The Fazekas scale is one of the most commonly used visual grading systems for white matter hyperintensity (WMH) for brain disorders like dementia from T2-fluid attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonance (MR) images (T2-FLAIRs). However, the visual grading of the Fazekas scale suffers from low-intra and inter-rater reliability and high labor-intensive work. Therefore, we developed a fully automated visual grading system using quantifiable measurements. Methods: Our approach involves four stages: (1) the deep learning-based segmentation of ventricles and WMH lesions, (2) the categorization into periventricular white matter hyperintensity (PWMH) and deep white matter hyperintensity (DWMH), (3) the WMH diameter measurement, and (4) automated scoring, following the quantifiable method modified for Fazekas grading. We compared the performances of our method and that of the modified Fazekas scale graded by three neuroradiologists for 404 subjects with T2-FLAIR utilized from a clinical site in Korea. Results: The Krippendorff’s alpha across our method and raters (A) versus those only between the radiologists (R) were comparable, showing substantial (0.694 vs. 0.732; 0.658 vs. 0.671) and moderate (0.579 vs. 0.586) level of agreements for the modified Fazekas, the DWMH, and the PWMH scales, respectively. Also, the average of areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve between the radiologists (0.80 ± 0.09) and the radiologists against our approach (0.80 ± 0.03) was comparable. Conclusions: Our fully automated visual grading system for WMH demonstrated comparable performance to the radiologists, which we believe has the potential to assist the radiologist in clinical findings with unbiased and consistent scoring.
