Summary

This trial tests a new portable brain scanner designed to quickly detect bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke) using harmless radio waves. The helmet-like device could offer a faster, more accessible alternative to CT or MRI scans in emergency settings. Researchers will enroll 300 adults with suspected stroke to see if the scanner can accurately identify brain bleeds within 15 minutes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: EMVision emu™ Brain Scanner, a portable device that uses ultra-high frequency radio waves to scan the brain
What this could lead to: If accurate, this portable scanner could speed up stroke diagnosis, especially where CT or MRI machines are not readily available, potentially leading to faster treatment and better outcomes.
What could go wrong: This is an early test of the device's accuracy. It may not meet the sensitivity and specificity targets, and its performance could vary in real-world emergency settings.
