Abstract

Abstract: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medical practice has significantly impacted the field of cerebrovascular disease. AI algorithms are increasingly being employed to enhance the diagnosis and management of cerebrovascular conditions. However, the clinical application and accuracy of these AI tools require further rigorous evaluation. This review probes into the current applications of AI in diagnosis and decision-making in cerebrovascular disease, and explores the potential and challenges associated with their implementation.

Key words: artificial intelligence, cerebrovascular disease, deep learning, data privacy, precision medicine
