Artificial intelligence could be twice as accurate as current methods at pinpointing the time a stroke took place, which could help medics make emergency decisions about care, according to a study.

Using the technology to read the brain scans of people who have had strokes could allow up to 50% more patients to be treated appropriately, researchers suggested.
