The Impact of Viz.ai Technology on Stroke Care
When asked about his experience with Viz.ai platform since Vista Radiology’s rollout of the technology in 2019, Dr. Robert Hixson shared:
“With Viz.ai technology, I can be at dinner reviewing a patient’s acute stroke scan on my mobile phone. The application saves critical minutes resulting in faster diagnosis and subsequent treatment. Many times, I am the one calling the team before they know the results of the scan to alert them of a problem I can potentially fix since I was notified by the app. The ability to be proactive in the treatment of stroke patients is a game changer.”
