Published validation

Optima Stroke's underlying approach was published in PLOS Digital Health (2023): “Deep convolution neural network for screening carotid calcification in dental panoramic radiographs.”

The study demonstrated 97% specificity and 87% recall (sensitivity) in identifying high-risk patients.

Roadmap

The Optima Arteria study roadmap

  • Study focus. The primary clinical study identifies and visualizes the carotid artery silhouette and its stenoses using native, non-contrast radiographs.

  • Blueprint for expansion. The study is the technical blueprint for the platform's expansion, built on a fully prepared protocol and an established clinical trial site.

  • Systemic transition. Once validated, the methodology will be extended across additional anatomical regions and, at the next stage, to other imaging technologies, including MRI, together with their own clinical validation.

  • Clinical publication. New validation data will be submitted to peer-reviewed journals.
