Strokefinder quickly differentiates bleeding strokes from clot-induced strokes

The antennas of the helmet sequentially transmit weak microwave signals into the brain. At the same time, the receiving antennas listen for reflected signals. The brain's different structures and substances affect the microwave scattering and reflections in different ways. The received signals give a complex pattern, which is interpreted with the help of advanced algorithms. Animation: Boid

  • Strokefinder quickly differentiates bleeding strokes from clot-induced strokes

    The results from the initial clinical studies involving the microwave helmet Strokefinder confirm the usefulness of microwaves for rapid and accurate diagnosis of stroke patients. This is shown in a recently published scientific article. Strokefinder enables earlier diagnosis than current methods, which improves the possibility to counteract brain damage.
