Review course: Today's stroke triage tools

Tuesday, December 1 | 8:30 a.m.-8:55 a.m. | RC305-01 | Room N230How are today's neuroradiologists handling stroke triage? Perfusion CT and perfusion-weighted MRI can assess for ischemic stroke, hemorrhage, vasospasm, brain tumors, seizures, and traumatic brain injury. But not everything is appropriate for every case, according to Dr. Max Wintermark from Stanford University.
