Online Neurology Days | Day 2 | Stroke Diagnostics
Globally, stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability with the World Stroke Organisation reporting an annual mortality rate of 5 and a half million people. Additionally, up to 50% of survivors have chronic disability posing a major public health problem and substantial economic burden.
Imaging has been the backbone of the acute stroke treatment revolution that has brought thrombectomy to an ever-increasing number of eligible patients. Join our panel of experts to discuss how guideline updates and revised recommendations translate into clinical practice. Learn about the diagnostic strategies that can be applied using both baseline and state-of-the-art imaging.
