The use of automated detection of large vessel occlusion on computed tomography (CT) through artificial intelligence (AI) software reportedly led to an 11.2-minute reduction in triage time from the completion of imaging to initiation of endovascular therapy, according to newly published research.
Over 80 percent of head and neck computed tomography angiography (CTA) exams performed in the emergency department had no actionable findings for patients with non-focal neurologic complaints, and 67 percent of the exams were ordered by non-physician practitioners (NPPs), according to a newly published study.
