Brainomix to Launch New AI-Powered Software for CT Stroke Detection at International Stroke Conference

For patients with severe stroke, an emerging artificial intelligence (AI) software for computed tomography (CT) scans may provide enhanced prognostic insight.

The Brainomix 360 Stroke Next Generation software, which will be unveiled at the International Stroke Conference in New Orleans (February 4-6),provides automated evaluation of net water uptake (NWU). The addition of NWU assessment can improve the management of patients with severe strokes, according to Brainomix, the developer of the software.

“The automated net water uptake output complements Brainomix's unique ischemic core volume and e-ASPECTS features to provide clinicians across all hospital settings with deeper insights into stroke injury using a routine non-contrast CT scan. Emerging evidence is increasingly highlighting NWU as a vital imaging biomarker to inform treatment decisions and improve prognostication in the most severe strokes,” noted George Harston, DPhil, MBBS, the chief medical and innovation officer at Brainomix.

The company added that the combination of AI-enabled insights and bolstered DICOM viewing capabilities with the Brainomix 360 Stroke Next Generation software facilitates more efficient CT workflows.
