Grateful for the opportunity to join
@ABC Eyewitness
#News to discuss the evolving landscape of
#stroke prevention, rapid diagnosis, and the growing role of
#AI in acute stroke care with
@abc7tony during
#StrokeAwarenessMonth.
Despite major advances in
#medicine, stroke remains one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. What many people may not realize, however, is that 80% of strokes can be prevented through earlier identification and management of modifiable risk factors.
When a stroke occurs, every second matters. The brain loses nearly 2 million
#neurons each minute blood flow is interrupted, which is why public awareness of stroke symptoms is so critical. Remember to “BE FAST” — balance, eyes, face, arms, speech, time. Early recognition saves brain tissue, improves recovery, and saves lives. đź§
We also explored how
#AI is transforming stroke workflows by enabling faster detection of large vessel occlusions (
#LVO), streamlining communication between care teams, and reducing time to life-saving
#thrombectomy. These
#technologies are already having a meaningful impact on outcomes for patients across the country.
Thank you to
@ABC7 for helping elevate awareness around stroke education and for highlighting the exciting
#imaging #innovations shaping the future of
#Neuroradiology and emergency
#brain care.
