Time is very important in sudden brain problems like ischemic stroke and brain aneurysm rupture. The saying “time is brain” means that every minute of delay causes millions of brain cells to die. This lowers the chances of the patient living and recovering well. Quickly finding large vessel blockages and checking brain damage carefully helps doctors decide what treatment to use, such as stopping the clot with a device or surgery.
New rules from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) stress quick treatment for stroke. Many studies show that removing clots inside the arteries is now a common way to treat big vessel strokes.
Hospitals often have problems like not enough brain blood vessel specialists, hard-to-read images, and poor coordination. These problems can make treatment slower and results worse.
Advanced AI programs for brain vessels help fix these problems by quickly analyzing images automatically and telling the team which cases are urgent. This helps the team work faster and more correctly.
Two important AI systems used in the United States for stroke and brain aneurysm care are Aidoc’s aiOS™ platform and RapidAI’s stroke imaging tools. Both have shown they help with hospital work and patient care.
Finding LVOs fast is very important because these strokes are very serious and need fast treatment with mechanical devices. RapidAI’s Rapid LVO tool finds possible LVOs with 97% accuracy in detecting cases and 96% in avoiding wrong alerts. This helps sort patients fast and move them to special centers quickly. It cuts down delays caused by not knowing right away.
This system looks at CT angiography (CTA) images quickly and sends doctors alerts fast, showing where the blockages are in important arteries like the internal carotid artery and the MCA-M1 segment. Quick diagnosis helps save brain tissue.
The Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) checks early brain damage on CT scans without contrast. RapidAI’s Rapid ASPECTS tool gives scores automatically in about two minutes. This raises the accuracy of reading images by around 10% and lowers differences between doctors.
Good scores make sure the right patients get clot removal, especially if treatment can be done later. It stops patients from missing treatment because doctors see images differently.
RapidAI’s Rapid Perfusion Imaging is the only FDA-approved AI tool for blood flow imaging used to decide on thrombectomy. It shows color maps that measure dead brain tissue and at-risk but still savable areas. This helps doctors decide who needs treatment.
Another tool, Rapid Hypodensity, measures the size of dead brain tissue quickly and tells old from new damage. This helps plan treatment for patients with large strokes. Centers using these tools saw thrombectomy rates go up by 51%.
RapidAI’s AngioFlow helps doctors during clot removal by showing blood flow in real time on the angiography machine. This stops the need to move patients for more scans and saves about 35 minutes during the procedure.
The AHA/ASA’s new updates stress using new technologies in stroke care. Neurovascular AI works well in this system by helping with:
This helps make patient care smoother and more standard across hospitals in cities and rural areas.
Besides clinical help, AI improves how hospitals work in brain vessel care. Hospital managers and IT staff should know this to better use resources and improve operations.
Neurovascular AI automatically sorts images and highlights urgent cases like suspected LVOs or aneurysms. Instant alerts help doctors and radiologists focus on these cases fast. This lowers missed or late diagnosis, especially in places with few specialists.
Platforms like Aidoc’s aiOS™ connect smoothly with hospital systems like PACS (image storage), electronic health records (EHR), and communication apps. This cuts down manual data work, prevents repeating data, and lets AI run continuously in the background.
AI helps make reports by automatically pulling important data from medical images. This lowers doctors’ paperwork, cuts errors, and helps meet legal documentation rules.
AI helps schedule and track patient follow-ups needed for conditions like abdominal aneurysm and stroke rehab. This makes patients more likely to keep their care plans and lowers hospital readmissions.
Hospitals can introduce AI slowly and increase use to cover more areas, following clear rules. Programs like Aidoc’s AI PATH give trainings and guidelines to help leaders manage AI projects well.
Hospital leaders and IT managers must think about not only patient benefits but also workflow changes, technology fit, and costs when choosing neurovascular AI.
Because brain vessel emergencies are serious, using AI to lower treatment time and help different specialists work together can improve patient results and hospital efficiency.
Experts agree that AI is not just a tool for diagnosis but also a support for better teamwork and patient care.
As health technology moves forward, neurovascular AI will play a bigger role in treating strokes and brain aneurysms in US health systems. Hospital leaders and IT staff who plan well will help their teams give faster, better care and improve patient health.
Aidoc’s core enterprise platform is known as aiOS™, which enables seamless end-to-end integration into existing hospital IT infrastructure, supporting scalable AI implementation across clinical workflows.
aiOS™ tackles a fragmented healthcare system by unifying AI workflows, enhancing data accuracy, connecting care teams across specialties, and streamlining patient management to improve overall care coordination and efficiency.
Aidoc provides AI solutions across Radiology, Cardiology, Neurovascular, and Vascular specialties, automating imaging analysis, prioritizing findings, activating care teams, and facilitating patient follow-up.
Aidoc automatically analyzes medical imaging to prioritize critical findings, speed up notification times by 31%, activate care teams, and streamline radiology workflows, alleviating radiologist shortages.
The neurovascular AI provides high-performing algorithms for stroke, hemorrhage, and brain aneurysm with real-time notifications, reducing door-to-puncture times by 34%, improving stroke care outcomes significantly.
Aidoc’s cardiac AI provides consistent measurements and captures incidental findings in imaging and text data, addressing gaps where 30% of moderate to severe coronary calcification patients are otherwise not appropriately managed.
The vascular AI streamlines workflows, centralizes patient management for diseases like pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis, ensuring 99% of eligible patients receive timely long-term follow-up.
Aidoc addresses fragmented healthcare systems by unifying disparate AI algorithms, connecting care teams, and integrating clinical and operational workflows to improve patient care continuity and operational efficiency.
Aidoc offers AI Strategy & Implementation resources including the BRIDGE guidelines, AI PATH program, and operational workshops to help health systems develop scalable, governed AI strategies beyond just deploying algorithms.
For a 1,000-bed health system, Aidoc estimates a potential $100 million annual net contribution from its AI enterprise solution, assuming a 25% net contribution margin and typical payor mix, illustrating substantial return on investment potential.
