BACKGROUND: Right to left shunt (RLS), including patent foramen ovale, is a recognized risk factor for stroke. RLS/patent foramen ovale diagnosis is made by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), which is insensitive, transesophageal echocardiography,...
PURPOSE: To estimate the ability of a commercially available artificial intelligence (AI) tool to detect acute brain ischemia on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), compared to an experienced neuroradiologist.

BACKGROUND: Accurate segmentation of stroke lesions on MRI images is very important for neurologists in the planning of post-stroke care. Segmentation helps clinicians to better diagnose and evaluation of any treatment risks. However, manual segmenta...
We determined if a convolutional neural network (CNN) deep learning model can accurately segment acute ischemic changes on non-contrast CT compared to neuroradiologists. Non-contrast CT (NCCT) examinations from 232 acute ischemic stroke patients who ...

Intracerebral hemorrhage is the subtype of stroke with the highest mortality rate, especially when it also causes secondary intraventricular hemorrhage. The optimal surgical option for intracerebral hemorrhage remains one of the most controversial ar...
Arm reaching is often impaired in individuals with stroke. Nonetheless, how aiming directions influence reaching performance and how such differences change with motor recovery over time remain unclear. Here, we elucidated kinematic parameters of rea...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training is incorporated into guidelines for stroke rehabilitation. It is a promising tool combined with conventional therapy for low ambulatory patients. The heavy weight and bulky appearance of a robotic exoskeleton ...
