How AI Reads a Brain CT Scan

Step-by-step: how Fractify's AI processes brain CT scans, identifies 6 hemorrhage subtypes, scores urgency, and delivers a structured report for radiologists.

The 5-Step Process

1

Upload the CT Scan

Upload a JPEG, PNG, or .dcm DICOM file. Upload 3 or more DICOM slices and Series Mode activates for complete CT brain analysis.

2

Series Mode for CT Brain

Multi-slice CT brain studies enter Series Mode automatically. The AI analyzes the axial slice with maximal hemorrhage extent — not a peripheral slice — ensuring accurate hemorrhage grading.

3

6 Hemorrhage Subtype Detection

The AI identifies hemorrhage type: epidural, subdural, subarachnoid, intraparenchymal, intraventricular, or mixed. Each subtype carries different urgency implications — the system surfaces the distinction explicitly.

4

Critical Flag + Urgency Report

Acute Hemorrhage, Herniation with Midline Shift, and Acute Ischemic Stroke are Level 4–5 critical flags. The report includes hemorrhage subtype, volume estimate, confidence, differential, urgency, and treatment guidance.

5

Clinician Review

The radiologist reviews findings against the full CT series montage. CT brain analysis is clinical decision support — all decisions remain with the qualified practitioner.

Key AI Capabilities

6 Hemorrhage Subtypes

Epidural, subdural, subarachnoid, intraparenchymal, intraventricular, mixed hemorrhage

Series Mode for Multi-Slice CT

AI anchors on the axial slice with maximal hemorrhage extent — not a peripheral slice

Midline Shift Detection

Herniation with Midline Shift triggers an immediate Level-5 critical flag

Stroke & Ischemia Detection

Hyperdense vessel sign and early ischemic changes are flagged as critical findings

Frequently Asked Questions

What hemorrhage types can AI detect on CT brain?

Fractify detects 6 hemorrhage subtypes on CT brain: epidural, subdural, subarachnoid, intraparenchymal, intraventricular, and mixed hemorrhage. Each triggers severity-appropriate urgency scoring.

How does DICOM Series Mode work for CT brain?

Upload 3+ DICOM files and Fractify automatically enters Series Mode. For CT brain, the AI anchors on the axial slice with maximal hemorrhage extent — ensuring grading accuracy. The full series is displayed as a montage for clinician review.

Can AI detect midline shift on CT brain?

Yes. Herniation with Midline Shift is one of Fractify's seven critical flags. When detected, the system immediately outputs a Level 4–5 urgency score with mandatory escalation flags.

Is CT brain AI reliable for stroke detection?

Acute Ischemic Stroke is a critical flag in Fractify's CT brain analysis. The system detects early ischemic changes and hyperdense vessel sign patterns. As with all AI findings, a qualified radiologist must confirm and make all clinical decisions.
