Ischaemic stroke: latest updates on imaging
Stefan Roosendaal, Amsterdam / Netherlands
  1. To review current imaging protocols for acute ischaemic stroke.
  2. To interpret key imaging signs that influence eligibility for reperfusion therapies such as intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy.
  3. To understand recent advancements and guideline updates in stroke imaging, including extended time windows and the use of advanced perfusion techniques for patient selection.

Pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis: update on protocols and workflow
Ilkay Sedakat Idilman, Ankara / Turkey
  1. To review current imaging protocols for diagnosing pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis.
  2. To understand workflow optimisations and decision-making algorithms for rapid triage and imaging of patients with suspected thromboembolic disease.
  3. To recognise recent advances in diagnosing pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis.

Often underdiagnosed or even ignored diseases of the abdomen and clots in the abdominal veins: how to diagnose and optimise different imaging modalities
Ali Devrim Karaosmanoğlu, Ankara / Turkey
  1. To identify imaging findings of abdominal venous thrombosis and distinguish bland thrombus from tumoral thrombus across different vascular segments.
  2. To learn how to select and optimise the appropriate imaging modality (CT, MRI, or US) based on clinical presentation and specific patient cases.
  3. To learn to recognise and evaluate the spectrum of clinical and radiological complications associated with abdominal venous thrombosis.
12 min
Cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis: a challenge when on call
Tormund Njølstad, Bergen / Norway
  1. To recognise the clinical signs and symptoms of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) and understand the differential diagnosis when evaluating a patient on call.
  2. To understand the role of imaging, particularly MRI and MR venography (MRV), in diagnosing CVST, and differentiate it from other causes of intracranial pathologies.
  3. To evaluate the management strategies for CVST, including the indications for anticoagulation, thrombolysis, the role of endovascular intervention, and when to involve a multidisciplinary team.
