The 5-Step Process
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
