The imaging workup in acute stroke can be simplified by deriving non-contrast CT (NCCT) from CT perfusion (CTP) images. This results in reduced workup time and radiation dose. To achieve this, we present a stacked bidirectional convolutional LSTM (C-...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) has influenced all aspects of human life and neurology is no exception to this growing trend. The aim of this paper is to guide medical practitioners on the relevant aspects of artificial intelligence, i.e., m...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of an intervention using the robot device PARO on visuospatial hemineglect and activities of daily living, and its acceptance during stroke rehabilitation. PARO is an interactive robotic toy with the appearance of a...

BACKGROUND: Add-on robot-mediated therapy has proven to be more effective than conventional therapy alone in post-stroke gait rehabilitation. Such robot-mediated interventions routinely use also visual biofeedback tools. A better understanding of bio...
Human-administered clinical scales are commonly used for quantifying motor performance and determining the course of therapy in post-stroke individuals. Computerized methods aim to improve consistency, resolution and duration of patients' evaluation....
