Navigating Breakthroughs in Pediatric Brain Stroke Detection: A Comprehensive Survey

Brain strokes, characterized by sudden interruptions in cerebral blood flow, pose a significant health concern, especially in children, where detection is intrinsically challenging due to limitations in existing methodologies. Recent attempts leveraging Machine Learning with Deep Learning techniques have grappled with accuracy and efficiency shortcomings in addressing this critical issue. In response, our innovative model integrates the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) algorithms. Rigorously evaluated using a comprehensive dataset, our ELM + CNN + GAN model demonstrates unparalleled accuracy, precision, and recall rates, surpassing benchmarks set by conventional approaches like the Random Forest algorithm and the AlexNet + SVM hybrid model. Notably, our model excels in diagnostic speed, offering a promising avenue for swift and efficient early detection of pediatric brain strokes. The strategic incorporation of ELM, recognized for its efficiency in single layer neural networks, along with the analytical power of CNN for image analysis and GAN for synthetic data generation, establishes a robust and comprehensive model. By outperforming existing methods, our approach signifies a substantial leap forward in addressing this critical health concern, revolutionizing stroke detection with enhanced accuracy and speed.
