Patent abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for evaluating a brain scan using reference data. Specifically, the systems and methods include a computed tomography (CT) scanner for the purpose of diagnosing concussions or mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI). The system includes a multi-energy x-ray source (i.e., spectral CT), a photon counting x-ray detector, and a content-aware computer aided diagnostic (CAD) algorithm designed to detect imperceptible changes indicative of structural and physiological damage caused by a concussive event by comparing raw volumetric datasets of baseline (healthy) reference scan data to patient scan data taken after a concussive event.
