Learning objectives
1) To review the purpose of perfusion imaging in acute stroke and other CNS pathologies,
understand the concept of ischemia/core-penumbra model
2)Review technique of CT perfusion and its applications
3)Demonstrate different cases and pathological conditions where CTP is of help
4)Demonstrate literature support and role of intravenous thrombolysis.
5) Review new applications of CTP and the future.
Main
Stroke is Australia’s second single greatest killer after coronary heart disease and a leading cause of disability.In 2009,
Australians will suffer around 60,000 new and recurrent strokes – that’s one stroke every 10 minutes.One in five people having a first-ever stroke die within one month and one in three die within a year.
In an acute stroke clinical setting what one would like to know is,
Is there hemorrhage and how extensive is the infarct – NCCT
Factors impacting the prognosis
Duration and severity of...
