When stroke strikes,
be ahead of your time.
For stroke patients, time is of the essence. Every minute saved can positively impact patient outcomes.
That’s why it’s key to save time along the entire stroke pathway – from the onset of stroke to treatment and follow-up.
New podcast: Improving pathways and prevention in stroke care
Learn about the stroke pathway and understand the strategies to reduce the risk of secondary stroke in this Healthcare Perspectives podcast episode featuring Mira Katan, MD, head of Stroke Unit and deputy head of Acute Neurology at University Hospital Basel in Switzerland, and Carlos Molina, MD, head of Neurology Section and director of Stroke Unit at Barcelona’s Vall d’Hebron Research Institute.

Stroke solutions
As your partner in stroke management, we keep you ahead of your time. Our advanced technologies let you speed up stroke care and transform care delivery along the entire pathway – from stroke screening and pre-hospital diagnosis and care to in-hospital diagnosis and treatment and (secondary) stroke prevention to follow-up imaging. Explore our offerings for stroke care!
Clear image quality for confident diagnosis and treatment
To quickly and confidently diagnose stroke, assess its impact, and perform mechanical thrombectomy, you need clear information. All our CT and MRI scanners as well as angiography systems let you see even small anatomical details in excellent quality. See for yourself!*
Native syngo DynaCT Sine Spin
syngo DynaCT Sine Spin improves the image quality of cranial Flat-Detector CT (FDCT) scans, especially in the posterior fossa and the basal part of the skull. syngo DynaCT Sine Spin reduces artifacts caused by bony structures.
SPINNERS
Siemens Healthineers is the grant giver of the investigator-initiated SPINNERS study, a clinical trial planned and performed by Prof. Marios-Nikos Psychogios, University Hospital Basel, Switzerland and Dr. Adam S. Arthur, University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center and Semmes-Murphey Clinic, Memphis, US.
The study is designed to evaluate whether FDCT imaging with syngo DynaCT Sine Spin has likewise high diagnostic accuracy compared to Multi-Slice CT (MSCT) in detecting intracranial bleeding.

Transforming stroke care delivery
Stroke International Services (SIS)Stroke International Services (SIS) and Siemens Healthineers enter into a partnership to advance stroke management in Vietnam Stroke International Services (SIS) and Siemens Healthineers have entered into an 8-year Value Partnership to advance stroke management in Vietnam. As part of this long-term partnership, Siemens Healthineers will install innovative medical technology and robotic solutions, anchoring on various digitalization platforms, and will further develop its training centers to organize customized education programs on managing stroke, moving forward. This investment by SIS will focus on building a full stroke management network, with an extension to Ho Chi Minh city and Quang Nam province. For Siemens Healthineers, this will be the first Value Partnership focusing on stroke in Southeast Asia.

Future vision for stroke management
Committed to helping healthcare providers globally
We at Siemens Healthineers are committed to helping healthcare providers globally to succeed in today’s dynamic environment. We are inspired to transform the way things are done – because we want what is best for our people, our customers, and ultimately the health of mankind. Digitalizing healthcare is the key enabler for expanding precision medicine transforming care delivery, and improving patient experience. Ultimately, digitalizing healthcare enables providers to achieve better outcomes at lower costs.
To make this possible, four steps are critical:
- Manage data as a strategic asset, e.g. with the support of technology like the digital twin
- Empower data-driven decisions
- Connect care teams and patients
- Build a learning health system, e.g. using AI technology
Clinical trials on stroke
In recent years, various clinical trials have shown the advantages of performing endovascular thrombectomy in patients with a high stroke score as well as of one-stop stroke care.
The DAWN trial shows that time alone shouldn’t be a disqualifier for endovascular thrombectomy. For example: 48.6% of patients in the thrombectomy group experienced less disability, compared to 13% in the control group who received standard medical care.4
