What Physicians Need to Know

Stroke Detection Speed
JBS-LVO is designed for real-time flagging of suspected Large Vessel Occlusions (LVOs) in CT angiography (CTA) images, aiming to significantly speed up diagnosis and treatment planning. JLK's AI solutions, including JBS-LVO, can reduce the time from emergency room arrival to treatment procedures from 110-160 minutes to 80 minutes.
Brain MRI/CT Analysis
JBS-LVO specifically utilizes a convolutional neural network (CNN) AI algorithm to analyze CT angiography (CTA) images of the brain for suspected LVOs. While JLK offers a broader suite of AI solutions for stroke that analyze various medical images including CT, CTP, MRI, and MRA for different stroke types, JBS-LVO's primary focus is on CTA for LVO detection.
Large Vessel Occlusion Detection
This is the core functionality of JBS-LVO. It employs a deep learning-based AI algorithm to identify suspected LVOs, specifically optimized for occlusions of the intracranial carotid artery (ICA) and proximal middle cerebral artery (MCA-M1 segment). Studies have shown high performance, with reported sensitivity of 91.8% and specificity of 92.8% for LVO detection. Another study indicated a sensitivity of 0.858 and specificity of 0.969.
Triage Prioritization Speed
JBS-LVO functions as a radiological computer-aided triage and notification (CADt) software package. It operates as a notification-only, parallel workflow tool, assisting in study triage by notifying appropriate medical specialists of suspected LVO findings in parallel to standard image interpretation. The integrated 'Critical Pathway' feature within its mobile application enhances clinical pathway management with real-time updates, activity logs, and push notifications.
Mobile Notification System
The tool includes a mobile application software module that sends notifications of suspected LVO findings to medical professionals. Users can receive alerts, view a unique list of patients with suspected LVOs, and examine non-diagnostic CT scans through the mobile application for informational purposes, aiding in triage and notification.
Physician Tip

JBS-LVO serves as a critical AI-powered adjunct for rapid identification and notification of suspected large vessel occlusions from CTA scans, particularly for ICA and MCA-M1 segments. Physicians should leverage its real-time notification system to expedite triage and treatment decisions, understanding that it is a notification tool to complement, not replace, definitive diagnostic interpretation. The mobile application facilitates swift communication and initial image review, crucial in time-sensitive stroke cases.

JBS-LVO is compliant with the DICOM standard, enabling seamless integration into hospital networks. It is designed for a parallel workflow, analyzing CTA images automatically transmitted from CT scanners to the JLK-server. The system integrates with existing patient pathways and provides notifications via a dedicated mobile application, which also features a 'Critical Pathway' for enhanced care coordination.
