Researchers have developed StrokeTimer, a new framework designed to estimate the onset time of ischemic strokes using non-contrast CT scans. The system employs self-supervised disentanglement and energy-guided contrastive learning to identify subtle signs of stroke and handle data imbalances and variations across different scanners. In trials on a large multi-center dataset, StrokeTimer achieved a macro AUC of 0.69 and a macro F1-score of 0.57, significantly outperforming existing methods and showing potential to aid clinical treatment decisions.
