BrainScope is not intended as a stand-alone diagnostic or to be used as a substitute for a head CT scan. Click here for complete indications for use.
The Structural Injury Classifier (SIC) indicates the likelihood of being negative for brain bleed on a CT scan and identifies the need for further evaluation.
BrainScope’s Brain Function Index (BFI) is expressed as a percentile of a normal population and assess the probability of brain function impairment, such as concussion.
The Concussion Index (CI) aids in identifying the likelihood of concussion.. The CI assessment can aid in clinical decision making at the time of injury
Prep
