AI-Powered ultrasound aims to speed stroke diagnosis

This study is testing whether a non-invasive ultrasound scan, combined with artificial intelligence (AI), can quickly identify bleeding in the brain (intracerebral hemorrhage) in people having a stroke. Researchers will enroll 500 adults with acute stroke and perform a standard CT scan plus an extra ultrasound. The AI will learn to distinguish bleeding strokes from non-bleeding ones by comparing its predictions to the CT results. No new treatments are involved; the goal is to see if this approach could lead to faster, more accessible diagnosis in the future.
