Towards subject-level cerebral infarction classification of CT scans using convolutional networks

Application of Quantitative CT Imaging in Rehabilitation Nursing of Cerebral Apoplexy Patients

Objectives:

Electronic computed tomography (CT) is an important imaging method for the diagnosis of cerebral infarction. This paper explores the preventive effects of quantitative CT imaging and early rehabilitation nursing on patients with cerebral apoplexy and shoulder-hand syndrome.

Methods:

Sixty cerebral apoplexy patients treated were included as control group and given routine care from September 2018 to May 2020. Sixty cerebral apoplexy patients were included as observation group, and early rehabilitation nursing intervention was given based on control group. The incidence of shoulder-hand syndrome and upper limb function were compared between the two groups, to explore the effectiveness of the CT examination in promoting the physical function restoration.

Results:

The incidence of shoulder-hand syndrome in observation group after three months of intervention was lower than that in control group, and the severity was less than that in control group (P<0.05); The Ashworth score of muscle tension in observation group after three months of intervention was lower than that in control group, and the simplified FMA score of the upper limbs was higher than that in control group.

Conclusion:

Early rehabilitation nursing intervention after CT examination can prevent the occurrence of cerebral apoplexy and shoulder-hand syndrome and improve upper limb function, which is worthy of promotion.
