ReviewAn East Coast Perspective on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: Part 2: Ischemic Stroke Imaging and Triage.
Acute ischemic stroke constitutes approximately 85% of strokes. Most strokes occur in community settings; thus, automatic algorithms techniques are attractive for managing these cases. ⋯ This article reviews algorithms for artificial intelligence techniques that may be used to detect and localize acute ischemic stroke. We describe artificial intelligence algorithms for these tasks and illustrate them with examples.
