AI-enabled radiology benefits stroke patients when every second counts
RapidAI reports that its CT Perfusion software platform assisted in a stroke case highlighted earlier this year by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer while underscoring the government’s commitment to advancing AI in healthcare. Combining speed with precision, AI-enabled imaging helps clinicians see more, decide faster and intervene with greater confidence, the company says.
Deb, a marathon trainee, collapsed without warning after suffering a stroke. At Royal Stoke University Hospital, Stoke-on-Trent, the stroke team led by
Dr Sanjeev Nayak deployed RapidAI’s CT Perfusion to map both damaged and salvageable brain tissue. With clear insights available, the stroke team acted quickly and enabled Deb’s recovery.
Every minute without treatment means nearly two million brain cells lost, RapidAI points out. “With AI providing clarity, clinicians can act with greater speed and confidence. Deb’s journey is more than an inspiring patient story. It is proof that when radiology and AI work together, outcomes are redefined, standards are raised and the future of care is already within reach.”
UKI country manager Dawn Phillips-Jarrett commented: “The RapidAI software platform is NICE approved for ischaemic stroke and currently installed in over 2,500 hospitals globally and across UKI Stroke Networks. It’s the world’s most clinically-validated stroke AI Platform and Rapid CTP is the only AI software FDA-approved for patient thrombectomy selection.”
