Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Artif icial intelligence (AI)-based image analysis is increasingly applied in the acute stroke field. Its implementation for the detection and quantification of hemorrhage suspect hyperdensities in non-contrast-enhanced head CT (NCCT) scans may facilitate clinical decision-making and accelerate stroke management.
