A method and apparatus include receiving a three dimensional (3D) non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) image of a head including a hematoma. A plurality of two dimensional (2D) images of the head including the hematoma are generated using the 3D NCCT image of the head including the hematoma. A plurality of 2D hematoma images are generated using a first 2D convolutional neural network (CNN) based on the plurality of 2D images. A 3D region of interest (ROI) that encompasses the hematoma is identified based on the plurality of 2D hematoma images. A plurality of 2D images that correspond to the ROI are generated. A hematoma expansion (HE) prediction score is determined using a second CNN based on the plurality of 2D images that correspond to the ROI. The HE prediction score is provided.
