Description
CT angiography is a complex investigation used increasingly for a variety of acute and chronic neurological conditions.
Using examples based on many years of experience of CT angiography, Dr Goddard will go through some of the commonly seen conditions and some more complex imaging patterns that will increase confidence on reporting these investigations in support of acute stroke treatment.
This course is to aid the general radiologist to interpret complex imaging where they are under pressure to deliver a very quick report turnaround
Online workshops are recorded so that participants can review on their own time following the training.
This workshop is organised by TMC Academy, an EACCME Trusted Provider.
Learning objectives
- Understand stroke physiology and angiographic anatomy
- Common patterns of intracranial and carotid vessel occlusion
- Understand importance of collateral flow and how this can relate to clinical outcomes after acute stroke treatment
Programme will include
- Overview of CT angiographic anatomy
- Case examples to illustrate common patterns, pitfalls and hints and tips to aid image interpretation.
Level
Level II - General radiologist
