Algorithm for Clot Dissolution
Our client’s magnetic/thrombolytic therapy will span 90 minutes, during which a TCD technician will have to be present. In order to facilitate efficient retrieval of information and minimize the technician’s necessary involvement, we plan to develop an algorithm that can assist in detecting the beginning of clot-dissolution and return to normal values.
However, in the current state of TCD technology, it is not possible to fully automate intracranial insonation, transcranial Doppler being the most operator dependent technique in diagnostic ultrasound. Rather, our algorithm will function as a macro to aid the technician in monitoring the patient. Therefore, in order to meet “good” standards, we require our algorithm to have a likelihood ratio (LR) ≥5, where
