BACKGROUND: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Rapid and accurate diagnosis is crucial for minimizing brain damage and optimizing treatment plans. OBJECTIVE: This review aims to summarize the methods of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted stroke diagnosis over the past 25 years, providing an overview of performance metrics and algorithm development trends. It also delves into existing issues and future prospects, intending to offer a comprehensive reference for clinical practice. METHODS: A total of 50 representative articles published between 1999 and 2024 on using AI technology for stroke prevention and diagnosis were systematically selected and analyzed in detail. RESULTS: AI-assisted stroke diagnosis has made significant advances in stroke lesion segmentation and classification, stroke risk prediction, and stroke prognosis. Before 2012, research mainly focused on segmentation using traditional thresholding and heuristic techniques. From 2012 to 2016, the focus shifted to machine learning (ML)-based approaches. After 2016, the emphasis moved to deep learning (DL), which brought significant improvements in accuracy. In stroke lesion segmentation and classification as well as stroke risk prediction, DL has shown superiority over ML. In stroke prognosis, both DL and ML have shown good performance. CONCLUSIONS: Over the past 25 years, AI technology has shown promising performance in stroke diagnosis.
