Abstract
In one embodiment, a patient's brain is evaluated after onset of a stroke by capturing computed tomography angiography (CTA) images of the brain, analyzing the CTA images with a CTA image analysis program to evaluate the patient's brain, and generating results based upon the analysis that provide an assessment of the brain. In some cases, the CTA image analysis program comprises a machine-learning algorithm that has been trained on the results of perfusion imaging analysis.
Claims24
A method for evaluating the brain after onset of a stroke, the method comprising:
- capturing computed tomography angiography (CTA) images of a patient's brain;
- analyzing the CTA images with a CTA image analysis program to evaluate the patient's brain;
- and
- generating results based upon the analysis that provide an assessment of the patient's brain.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores a computed tomography angiography (CTA) image analysis program comprising computer-executable instructions configured to:
- receive CTA images of a patient's brain;
- analyze the CTA images to evaluate the patient's brain;
- and
- generate results based upon the analysis that provide an assessment of the patient's brain.
