Neuroimaging

Neuroradiology is a branch of medical imaging focused on spotting abnormalities of the central and peripheral nervous system, spine, head and neck. These highly trained doctors use CT, MRI, X-ray and other techniques to diagnose strokes, tumors, aneurysms and other neurological conditions.

New algorithm is twice as accurate at predicting stroke timing compared to the standard of care
Determining stroke onset is critical for management, as there is a small window of time for initiating treatment that can inhibit damage.
