Head CT
A deep learning algorithm recognizes abnormal head CT scans with similar accuracy to highly-trained radiologists. The images show a head CT, highlighted on the right to show abnormalities identified by the algorithm, including subarachnoid haemorrhage (red), contusion (purple) and subdural haemorrhage (green).
