Abstract

Abstract: With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and its extensive application in the medical field, AI has gradually been applied to all aspects of cerebrovascular disease diagnosis and treatment, including but not limited to prevention, prediction, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis assessment. This article reviewed the current application of AI technology in the field of cerebrovascular disease diagnosis and treatment and discussed the improvement of the diagnostic and therapeutic process with AI technology application. It provides novel insights and strategies for the clinical management of cerebrovascular diseases.

Key words: artificial intelligence, cerebrovascular diseases, machine learning, deep learning
