At Flushing Hospital Medical Center, we are committed to bringing the latest innovations in stroke care to our patients.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is now playing an important role, helping us improve both the speed of treatment and the quality of recovery.
One of the technologies we use to speed up stroke diagnosis is Aidoc, an advanced AI system that reviews CT scans in real time to detect strokes caused by clots or bleeding in the brain.
By alerting our stroke team immediately, Aidoc reduces delays and supports rapid decisions for clot-busting medication or thrombectomy. This ensures that more patients can receive life-saving treatment within the critical “golden hour.” The “golden hour” in stroke refers to the first 60 minutes after symptoms arise. This is a critical time because prompt medical intervention can greatly minimize brain damage and enhance recovery outcomes.
