Non-Contrast Computed Tomography-Based Triage and Notification for Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke: A Before and After Study Utilizing Artificial Intelligence on Treatment Times and Outcomes.

: The clinical impact of automated large vessel occlusion (LVO) detection tools using non-contrast CT (NCCT) is still unknown. We evaluated whether the implementation of Heuron ELVO, an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven software for triage and notification of LVO stroke using NCCT, can reduce treatment times and improve clinical outcomes in a real-world setting. : We compared patients with LVO stroke before (pre-AI cohort, 84 patients) and after (post-AI cohort, 48 patients) the implementation of Heuron ELVO at a comprehensive stroke center.
