New AI stroke brain scan readings are twice as accurate as current method


AI pinpoints stroke timing, treatment potential from a single scan

New AI software can read the brain scans of patients who have had a stroke, to more accurately pinpoint when it happened and help doctors work out whether it can be successfully treated. As well as automatically extracting the relevant area from the brain scan, the algorithm reads and analyses the identified lesions, producing a time estimate. The research study was funded by NIHR for the purpose of NHS benefit, as well as by Imperial’s Centre for Doctoral Training for AI in Healthcare, and the Graham-Dixon Charitable Trust.
