Abstract: Correct diagnosis of the stroke type is very important for proper medication as any delay or wrong diagnosis may become fatal to the patient. Many methods have been developed to diagnose stroke using MRI images. In this work we have used unenhanced CT images for diagnosis stroke using texture features and classifiers. Five different classifiers have been used and they are combined to get better diagnosis accuracy. The accuracy of classifier ensemble output was 85.39% and the area under ROC (AUC) was found to be about 93 % for every classes. The method proves very effective for diagnosis of stroke with good accuracy and able to differentiate acute, chronic and hemorrhage successfully.
