Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust has implemented new artificial intelligence software that is helping to save the lives of stroke patients by analysing brain images. The RapidAI software analyses brain images to help clinicians decide whether a patient requires an operation or medication to remove a blood clot.The technology was introduced to the stroke team at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals last month and is already making an impact.

伍斯特郡急症医院NHS信托基金实施了新的人工智能软件，该软件通过分析大脑图像帮助挽救中风患者的生命。RapidAI软件分析大脑图像，以帮助临床医生决定患者是否需要手术或药物来清除血块。上个月，这项技术被引入伍斯特郡急症医院的中风研究小组，并且已经产生了影响。

Since its introduction, more than 30 patients have received life-saving treatment that may otherwise have been missed.Clinical lead at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals, Dr Girish Muddegowda, said: “Thanks to this software, clinicians now have advanced decision-making capabilities in a time critical situation which is crucial to stroke recovery.“Rapid AI is already improving patient stroke services and thrombolysis rates and opening better and quicker communication channels with the Tertiary Centre in Birmingham for advanced patient care.”Data generated by the AI software supports the team of clinicians to manage hyperacute stroke care through the analysing of neuro images.

自推出以来，已有30多名患者接受了挽救生命的治疗，否则可能会错过。伍斯特郡急症医院的临床负责人Girish Muddegowda博士说：“多亏了这个软件，临床医生现在在时间紧迫的情况下拥有先进的决策能力，这对中风的恢复至关重要。”快速人工智能已经改善了患者的中风服务和溶栓率，并为伯明翰的三级中心提供了更好更快的沟通渠道，用于高级患者护理。“人工智能软件产生的数据支持临床医生团队通过分析神经图像来管理超急性中风护理。

It is used as part of a decision-making tool, helping to facilitate advanced stroke care while remaining in line with existing stroke guidelines.RapidAI is capable of detecting large vessel occlusion automatically, as well as blood circulation to the brain. This gives the clinician a better understanding of a patient’s neurovascular status.The scans being analysed are directly accessible for clinicians at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham as well, where stroke patients can be transferred for further treatment if needed.Stuart Guy, directorate manager for the stroke unit at Worcestershire Royal Hospital, said: “This is an excellent improvement to support the tr.

它被用作决策工具的一部分，有助于促进先进的中风护理，同时与现有的中风指南保持一致。RapidAI能够自动检测大血管闭塞以及大脑的血液循环。这使临床医生更好地了解患者的神经血管状态。伯明翰伊丽莎白女王医院（Queen Elizabeth Hospital）的临床医生也可以直接获得正在分析的扫描结果，如果需要，可以将中风患者转移到那里进行进一步治疗。伍斯特郡皇家医院中风科董事会经理斯图尔特·盖伊（StuartGuy）说：“这是支持tr的一个极好的改进。
