New technology involved with Artificial intelligence or AI is making huge strides as it is being used for patients who may be at risk of a stroke.  OSF Healthcare Little Company of Mary Medical Center in Evergreen Park has CT and MRI perfusion capabilities, that help look at a patient’s blood flow to the brain.

Using AI helps neurovascular and vascular medical teams reduce the time to treatment and improve patient outcomes.  AI processes the images and gives clinical information to the clinician immediately.  This helps providers more quickly decide the best course of action.

Tracy Jendruczek, VP of surgical and procedural services with OSF Little Company of Mary, says the addition of CT and MRI perfusions at the hospital, is beneficial for the community.

Jendruczek says that AI treatment is now for those who show signs or symptoms of a tumor.

The ultimate goal of CT and MRI perfusions is to expedite treatment for stroke patients.
