e-ASPECTS

e-ASPECTS is an image processing software package to be used by trained professionals, including stroke physicians and radiologists. The software runs on standard “off-the-shelf” hardware (physical or virtualized). Data and images are acquired through DICOM compliant imaging devices. This includes DICOM files uploaded through a web interface._x000D_ e-ASPECTS provides both analysis and viewing capabilities for brain CT datasets of stroke patients. The analysis capabilities are for detection of changes in the image related to stroke, calculation of the extent of these changes (such as ASPECTS, the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score), and visualization of these changes._x000D_ _x000D_ 1. e-ASPECTS is indicated as an aid to diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke patients with an MCA (middle cerebral artery) occlusion._x000D_ 2. e-ASPECTS is indicated for use on non-contrast brain CT scans for these patients as a decision support tool, providing automated image analysis and ASPECT scoring._x000D_ 3. e-ASPECTS is indicated for use on non-contrast brain CT scans for highlighting suspected abnormal hyperdensities through automated image analysis.
