Facilitating timely diagnosis and intervention for brain bleeds, the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered Viz ICH Plus software may provide quantified assessment for intracranial hyperdensities, lateral ventricles and midline shifts.

The use of multiple artificial intelligence (AI) modalities to assess blood vessel density reduction and computed tomography perfusion (CTP) mismatch values facilitated a 93.3 percent detection rate for medium vessel occlusions, according to research presented recently at the International Stroke Conference.

In a comparative study of energy-integrating detector CT myelography versus photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) myelography for the detection of cerebrospinal fluid-venous fistulas (CVFs) in cases of spontaneous intracranial hypotension, PCD-CT myelography demonstrated 10 to 19 percent higher sensitivity rates with reviewing radiologists.
