Advancements in Stroke Care Technology
Brainomix 360 unlocks expert-level insights from universally available non-contrast CT scans, helping stroke networks expand access to life-changing treatments.
Brainomix, a global leader in AI-driven stroke imaging, has achieved a significant milestone by receiving FDA clearance for a patented feature that allows physicians to assess ischemic core volume using readily available non-contrast CT (NCCT) images through the Brainomix 360 Stroke solution. This pivotal enhancement addresses a long-standing need in stroke triage, enabling healthcare professionals across various networks to gain vital insights that can significantly improve treatment decisions and patient transfers based on routine brain scans.
Impact on Stroke Treatment
The core volume feature has undergone extensive validation by renowned stroke centers in the US, demonstrating its effectiveness compared to traditional CT Perfusion and MRI-derived assessments. "This key expansion of our Brainomix 360 platform signifies a strategic advancement in the field of stroke imaging. Our mission is to transform stroke care with cutting-edge technology. Brainomix 360 gives stroke teams real-time, high-precision insights, providing patients with access to crucial treatments like thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy up to 24 hours after the onset of a stroke," expressed Dr. Michalis Papadakis, CEO and Co-Founder of Brainomix.
Noteworthy Study Findings
Brainomix 360 stands out as the only stroke AI imaging tool that has shown a measurable impact on stroke treatment rates. A comprehensive evaluation gathering national-level data from over 450,000 patients over three years revealed that Brainomix 360 contributed to a remarkable more than 50% increase in mechanical thrombectomy rates.
Dr. Mehdi Bouslama, a specialist in Neuroendovascular Surgery and Vascular Neurology, co-authored a pivotal study published in the journal Stroke. Alongside Dr. Raul Nogueira and researchers from Emory University, he established the efficacy of Brainomix's NCCT core volume. "The ability of Brainomix 360 to reliably estimate ischemic core volumes comparably to CT Perfusion offers an exciting alternative for centers lacking advanced imaging tools or specialists in imaging interpretation. This could broaden access to endovascular therapies," he remarked.
Comparable Performance with Established Imaging Tools
Another vital study, co-authored by Dr. Kambiz Nael from the University of California, San Francisco, was published in the Journal of Neurointerventional Surgery (JNIS) and confirmed the equivalence of Brainomix NCCT core volumes with those derived from concurrent CT Perfusion. The study’s conclusion highlighted the algorithm's remarkable capability to assess ischemic core volumes from NCCT images, aligning closely with traditional imaging techniques and suggesting its attractiveness for centers with limited access to advanced imaging modalities.
Upcoming Educational Webinar
Dr. Bouslama and Dr. Nael will participate in an informative webinar titled "Imaging the Core on NCCT: Unlocking Stroke Insights Across Networks," set to take place on the upcoming Thursday at 12pm EST. This session aims to further educate participants on these significant advancements in stroke imaging.
