An Exploratory Study into using Machine-Learning for Fast Step-by-step Emulation of Numerical Mechanical Thrombectomy Simulations for Ischemic Stroke
arXiv:2606.00892v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The treatment of ischemic stroke using mechanical thrombectomy involves difficult decisions under intense time constraints. Numerical physics simulations can in theory inform operators to make better decisions regarding treatment approaches and device selection, but are too slow to do so in practice. In this thesis, we investigate if current machine learning based surrogates can accurately emulate these simulations in a step-by-step manner while making them significantly faster. To do this we train three surrogate models on two simulations that i
The increasing maturity of AI/ML techniques for surrogate modeling coincides with a growing demand for faster, more accurate decision-making tools in critical medical procedures.
This development can significantly reduce decision-making times in time-sensitive medical interventions like mechanical thrombectomy, potentially improving patient outcomes and resource allocation.
The ability to rapidly emulate complex physical simulations using machine learning opens new avenues for real-time clinical guidance and personalized treatment strategies, moving beyond theoretical applications.
