Stroke and CT Perfusion

Thanks to advances in diagnosis and treatments, survival rates for stroke patients over the past decade have significantly improved. Since the decision to treat stroke is largely influenced on the basis of imaging, this QSS focusses on the role of CT in acute stroke.

This course includes discussion on types of stroke, recognizing them on non-enhanced CT, the role of CT angiography and an explanation of CT perfusion. The role of CT perfusion for indications outside of acute stroke are explored.
