Stroke One Day Course : Advanced Stroke Neuroimaging

Course description

Stroke One Day Course : Advanced Stroke Neuroimaging

This short course offered by the world leading UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology will give an overview of using neuroimaging and mechanical thrombectomy to treat people who have had a stroke. This course will outline methods of quantifying the impact of the stroke using advanced imaging techniques from penumbral and core infarct size through to methods of imaging recovery from stroke. It will also cover the more familiar aspects of imaging stroke such as using CT and MRI based modalities to evaluate infarcts and haemorrhages.
