Researchers at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) have developed a new automated computer system that can analyze brain scans and help doctors decide whether a patient has suffered a embolic or ischemic stroke.
Known as the CAD stroke technology, the system works by analyzing the CT scans fed into its computer and performs sophisticated calculations and comparisons to detect areas that are suspected to have insufficient blood flow.
The scan is completed within 10 minutes and provides information to the doctors, such as loss of insular ribbon, loss of sulcus and dense MCA, through which they can identify whether blood clots are present.
