Image Processing Software Detects Ischemic Stroke

Both the report and the perfusion maps can be delivered directly to the picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) and to and e-mail inbox. The automated assessment of tissue parameters in an acute clinical setting can improve patient outcomes and care by ensuring they get the right treatment (thrombectomy, blood thinners, etc.) in a timely manner.

“With the launch of icobrain cva we address a persisting need in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke,” said Wim Van Hecke, CEO of icometrix. “By democratizing advanced CT perfusion analysis for healthcare systems worldwide, we take the next step in our mission to become a holistic brain solution provider.”

Rapid and effective revascularization is the mainstay of acute ischemic stroke treatment. Until recently, intravenous recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (r-tPA) was the only established therapeutic option. New studies have proven the benefit of endovascular treatment, and thrombectomy with stent retrievers is now recommended as the standard of care for acute ischemic strokes with a proximal large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation.
