Imagine technology that combines ultrasound, robotics and artificial intelligence to detect brain damage in stroke victims - and to detect holes in the heart that could be corrected with surgery before causing a stroke.
Physicians at the CHI Memorial Stroke and Neuroscience Center here in Chattanooga - part of CommonSpirit Health - are now using the technology, known as robotic transcranial Doppler ultrasound from NovaSignal.
The results so far: improved outcomes for stroke patients - and three times better than conventional heart testing.
Dr. Thomas Devlin is physician executive of Neurosciences at CHI Memorial and medical director at the Stroke and Neuroscience Center.
