Radiological algorithms in stroke
Danielle Byrne, Dublin / Ireland
1. To review the role of perfusion imaging in stroke and its pitfalls.
2. To identify suitable candidates for endovascular treatment.
3. To outline a logical approach to acute stroke imaging with a succinct algorithm allowing the radiologist to interpret imaging and communicate results in a timely manner.
