Acute stroke is a life-threatening condition where timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for patient treatment and prognosis. However, traditional methods for diagnosing stroke have several limitations. For instance, while computed tomography (CT) scans can rule out cerebral hemorrhage, their effectiveness in diagnosing ischemic stroke is limited. Additionally, cerebral perfusion CT scans (CTP), while accurate in identifying ischemic regions, require contrast injection, posing risks to some patients.
AI Empowerment: Faster and more accurate stroke diagnosis
To address the limitations of traditional stroke diagnosis methods, the Artificial Intelligence Center team at the China Medical University Hospital has developed an AI-assisted rapid stroke diagnosis platform. This platform utilizes artificial intelligence technology to analyze NCCT and CTP images, automatically identifying ischemic areas in the brain, their core regions, and ischemic penumbra regions to assist physicians in accurately assessing patients with acute ischemic stroke.
The successful development of this platform represents a significant advancement in the field of stroke diagnosis. Its main advantages include:
AI will revolutionize stroke diagnosis
Deputy Director Wei-Chun Wang stated that the successful development of the AI-assisted rapid stroke diagnosis platform provides stroke patients with a faster, more accurate, and safer diagnosis method, which is expected to significantly improve treatment outcomes and prognosis for stroke patients. It is believed that AI technology will completely revolutionize the diagnosis of stroke, bringing greater hope to patients.
