A new AI tool can automatically identify different types of brain injuries by analyzing images of CT scans
The researchers, from the University of Cambridge and Imperial College London, have clinically validated and tested the AI on large sets of CT scans, and found that it was successfully able to detect, segment, quantify and differentiate different types of brain lesions.
The subtle differences it spots could help develop personalized treatments for head injuries, which affect up to 60 million people every year.
Different types of blood in or around the brain can lead to different patient outcomes, and radiologists will often make estimates in order to determine the best course of treatment, such as surgery or drugs.
This assessment can take hours, and often misses important details about the type, volume, and location of a lesion on the brain. But, this AI tool does the job automatically which cuts the time and enhances the insights.
The researchers have made the Imperial software tool publicly available to the scientific community.
