By GlobalDatae-ASPECTS automatically implements the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) method and delivers a quick and standardised assessment of CT scans required to diagnose ischemic stroke.
This capability of the clinical support tool facilitates fast yet consistent treatment decisions that have to be made within few hours of stroke onset, and is expected to enhance patient outcomes while reducing expenses.
BIVF managing director Dr Frank Kalkbrenner said: “Brainomix is a cutting-edge technology company with superior expertise in innovative stroke care.
“Their e-ASPECTS solution significantly supports physicians in the demanding acute care setting and is a step forward for fast and consistent stroke diagnosis.”
