University of Tokyo's breakthrough in AI and imaging technology allows for real-time monitoring of blood clots, potentially improving heart disease treatment and diagnosis.
The new artificial intelligence tool uses a powerful microscope to monitor platelets in real time, the researchers shared in a press release from the university. "Right now, doctors often give blood-thinning drugs and hope they are working. With this method, they could actually see if the treatment is working."

Platelets, which are tiny blood cells that help form clots to stop bleeding, play a "crucial role" in heart disease, particularly coronary artery disease, according to Dr. Kazutoshi Hirose, lead author of the study.
