StrokeSENS ASPECTS
Overview
StrokeSENS™ is an AI-powered medical imaging software and notification tool developed by Circle Cardiovascular Imaging. It is designed for use by hospital networks and trained professionals to augment acute stroke image analysis, supporting communication and collaboration across stroke teams. The software provides processing tools for predicting ASPECTS (Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score) on Non-Contrast CT (NCCT) and detecting Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO) on CT Angiography (CTA). StrokeSENS™ delivers notification and communication capabilities for patients suspected of having a large vessel occlusion and offers remote access to imaging on any web-enabled device. It aims to streamline clinical workflow, enhance clinical insights with accessible imaging, and enable network integration and automated information sharing. The system provides real-time notifications and advanced visualizations from routine CT/CTA, allowing front-line clinicians to quickly and effectively manage patients, especially when CTP or MRI is unavailable or unnecessary.

What Physicians Need to Know
Leverage StrokeSENS for rapid, automated assessment of stroke imaging (ASPECTS, LVO) to expedite diagnosis and treatment decisions. Utilize its standardization of ASPECTS scoring to reduce subjectivity and improve consistency across assessments. Take advantage of the automated mobile notification system for faster communication and coordination within stroke teams, especially for time-critical interventions. The remote access to imaging and results on mobile devices can further streamline workflow.
StrokeSENS is vendor-agnostic and integrates seamlessly into existing radiological environments, including PACS. It can be deployed via AI marketplaces, distribution platforms, or as a stand-alone third-party application. Specific integrations include GE Healthcare's FastStroke software package and Siemens Healthineers' syngo.via workstation. It also integrates with Aidoc's aiOSu2122 platform to provide a comprehensive stroke AI solution.

What the Web Says
StrokeSENS ASPECTS is an AI-powered medical imaging software developed by Circle Cardiovascular Imaging (Circle CVI) that assists healthcare professionals in evaluating acute ischemic stroke. It automates the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) on non-contrast CT scans and detects large vessel occlusions (LVO) on CT angiography. The software aims to streamline workflow, enhance diagnostic accuracy, and improve communication among stroke teams, ultimately leading to faster treatment decisions and potentially better patient outcomes.
Overall: PositiveStrengths
- Automated ASPECTS scoring reduces manual errors and subjectivity, increasing accuracy and consistency in stroke assessments.
- Enhances reader performance with improved sensitivity (+9.7%), specificity (+1.6%), and inter-reader agreement (+28%).
- Provides real-time notifications and remote access to imaging on web-enabled devices, facilitating faster communication and collaboration among stroke teams.
- Streamlines clinical workflow and post-processing of CT ischemic stroke studies, potentially reducing time to diagnosis and treatment.
- Vendor-agnostic and easily integrates into existing radiological environments (e.g., PACS).
- Aids in identifying patients who may benefit from life-saving treatments like thrombolysis or mechanical thrombectomy.
Limitations
- No research papers or evidence on file to support its claims, according to the Health AI Register.
- StrokeSENS ASPECTS is not for sale in the US and is not approved or cleared by the U.S. FDA.
- Email notifications are not intended for primary diagnosis and require verification on PACS or a dedicated review station.
- Manual scoring, while time-consuming, allows for the inclusion of other factors not considered by automated systems.
- Some studies on similar AI-powered ASPECTS software indicate that expert evaluation is still recommended in cases of pre-existing cerebral abnormalities.
