Key points from article :

Scientists developed a new AI tool to detect brain aneurysms.

Scans through CT angiograms of the head for signs of aneurysms in each 3D version of a pixel.

Displays a semi-transparent red overlay over the areas predicted as having aneurysms.

Paying special attention to those areas improved clinician’s ability to identify aneurysms.

115 brain scans were analysed for aneurysms by 8 clinicians using this tool.

Research by Stanford University, published in JAMA Network Open.
