The use of CT perfusion will continue to expand in acute stroke imagining, While CTP has great promise, it has great challenges in interpretation as well. Learn from Dr. Vagal as she takes us through a deep dive to understand technical pitfalls and quality assessments which allow us to accurately interpret the data to help treat our patients. The more you understand the technique of CTP the better equipped you will be to do the right thing at the right time for acute stroke patients. Come learn about the hypo perfusion index, quality assessment of CTP data and how to understand the color maps on CTP.
