  • Patent number: 11751832
    Abstract: Systems and techniques that facilitate automated localization of large vessel occlusions are provided. In various embodiments, an input component can receive computed tomography angiogram (CTA) images of a patient's brain. In various embodiments, a localization component can determine, via a machine learning algorithm, a location of a large vessel occlusion (LVO) in the patient's brain based on the CTA images. In various instances, the location of the LVO can comprise a laterality and an occlusion site. In various aspects, the laterality can indicate a right side or a left side of the patient's brain, and the occlusion site can indicate an internal carotid artery (ICA), an M1 segment of a middle cerebral artery (MCA) or an M2 segment of an MCA. In various cases, a visualization component can generate and display to a user a three-dimensional maximum intensity projection (MIP) reconstruction of the patient's brain based on the CTA images to facilitate visual verification of the LVO by the user.

  • Patent number: 11373750
    Abstract: Systems and methods for rapid, accurate, fully-automated, brain hemorrhage deep learning (DL) based assessment tools are provided, to assist clinicians in the detection & characterization of hemorrhages or bleeds. Images may be acquired from a subject using an imaging source, and preprocessed to cleanup, reformat, and perform any needed interpolation prior to being analyzed by an artificial intelligence network, such as a convolutional neural network (CNN). The artificial intelligence network identifies and labels regions of interest in the image, such as identifying any hemorrhages or bleeds. An output for a user may also include a confidence value associated with the identification.

  • Patent number: 11331056
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for generating and/or employing a computed tomography (CT) medical imaging stroke model are presented. In one example, a system employs a convolutional neural network to generate learned medical imaging stroke data regarding a brain anatomical region based on CT data associated with the brain anatomical region and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) data associated with one or more segmentation masks for the brain anatomical region. The system also detects presence or absence of a medical stroke condition in a CT image based on the learned medical imaging stroke data.
