Abstract
Stroke or brain bleeding is a disease occurred when the blood vessels inside of the brain or between skull and brain burst. Common causes are injury due to accident or high blood vessels. This disease requires an immediate diagnose whenever a patient has an abnormal signs such as severe headache, acute fatigue of arms and legs, nausea, vomit, loss of balance, cannot communicate with other people or cannot understand other people, or have an indication that there may be an injury to the brain. The patient when gets hospitalized is usually taken to CT scan to get the slides of the brain images because CT scanning is quick and also less expensive than any other method. The neurosurgeon considers these slides of images to detect any abnormality in the brain and gives appropriate actions. However, as the number of expert neurosurgeons who know how to read the images throughout the country is very low and the majority of them works in Bangkok and vicinity or major provincial hospitals, this makes a big obstacle to effectively save lives of people who live in the rural area. This project aims to develop pilot software that can automatically detect patients who have stroke, for the patient who have a hemorrhage, it automatically makes a 3D model of a brain hemorrhage, compute midline shift, compute a volume of a hemorrhage, and classify patients with emergency condition. This program will be helpful as a supporting tool for doctors especially those who are inexperience to know the condition of stroke of the patients.
