Find stocks with a volume spike

Hi there,
I am wondering what the best way to detect volume spikes would be?
I was thinking about looping over all stocks from a certain index (like S&P 500) and analyse volume stock by stock and repeat that every few hours.
I think there must be a better way - do you know any?
Thanky very much for your ideas!
