AI boosts brain scan reading speed and accuracy?
NCT ID NCT06018545
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool called qER 2.0 EU helps doctors and other health professionals read head CT scans more accurately and quickly. Thirty-three readers, including radiologists, emergency doctors, and radiographers, reviewed 150 scans with and without AI assistance. The goal was to see if AI improves diagnosis of conditions like bleeding, stroke, and brain swelling, and to gather evidence for future real-world use in hospitals.
