We built the world’s first AI-as-Angiologist for smarter and faster vascular ultrasound exams
EVERY 3 SECONDS, SOMEONE SUFFERS A STROKE. MOST ARE PREVENTABLE. HERE IS WHAT WE DO TO WITH OUR VASCULARAI TO SAVE LIVES IN THE PATIENT JOURNEY:
Supporting initial diagnosis
Patients undergo carotid ultrasound examinations either due to symptomatic presentations such as transient ischemic attacks, dizziness, visual disturbances, or stroke-like symptoms, or as part of preventive screening protocols for high-risk populations. High-risk groups include individuals over 65, patients with diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, family history of stroke, smokers, and those with neck bruits, with some healthcare systems also implementing population-based screening programs for stroke prevention.
Diagnostic confirmation
In numerous countries worldwide, computed tomography angiography (CTA) or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) serves as mandatory confirmatory imaging to validate significant carotid stenosis detected through initial ultrasound screening before patients proceed to surgical interventions such as carotid endarterectomy or stenting procedures.
Treatment
Treatment approaches for carotid artery disease span a comprehensive spectrum, ranging from conservative lifestyle modifications including smoking cessation, dietary changes, and regular exercise combined with antiplatelet medications and statins for mild stenosis, to aggressive surgical interventions such as carotid endarterectomy or carotid artery stenting for patients presenting with high-risk unstable plaques or severe stenosis exceeding 70% luminal narrowing.
Participating in ongoing care
Patients diagnosed with carotid artery disease require systematic ultrasound surveillance through regular follow-up examinations to monitor disease progression in conservatively managed cases, assess the effectiveness of medical therapy, and detect potential restenosis or complications in patients who have undergone surgical interventions such as carotid endarterectomy or stenting procedures.
VascularAI is powered by robust data and domain clinical expertise:
1. The system uses a sophisticated two-tier architecture with specialized models for every imaging modality.
2. Real-time artery localization, pathology detection and classification, and automated reporting across all imaging modalities (B-mode, Color-mode, Doppler).
3. Seamless integration: just plug your smart device into any ultrasound system and you're ready to go.
4. 25+ years of angiologist experience and tens of thousands labeled images behind every model.
