IIT Mandi takes diagnosis of neurological problems one step further IIT Mandi takes diagnosis of neurological problems one step further 03 May 2021 | News Invents a new technique to detect abnormal brain characteristics associated with Ischemic stroke Innovators at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi have invented a method to simultaneously study the variations in nerve functions and brain blood flow associated with brain disorders such as Ischemic stroke. The invented method helps in locating and classifying damaged sites (lesions) in the brain, brought about, or leading to neurological diseases. Results of this study led by Dr Shubhajit Roy Chowdhury, Associate Professor, School of Computing & Electrical Engineering, IIT Mandi, has been published in IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine and the team has been recently granted US patent for the invention. Dr Roy Chowdhury has collaborated with Dr Abhijit Das, a neurologist from Institute of Neurosciences, Kolkata, and Dr Anirban Dutta, Assistant Professor, Restorative Neurorehabilitation, Department of Biomedical Engineering, University at Buffalo, US.
