SESSION SCHEDULE
Time Session Topic Faculty
12:00 PM12:30 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to describe how to report ASPECTS scoring for stroke, summarize the clinical utility of CT angiography and CT perfusion for patients with stroke, and discuss the use of artificial intelligence in stroke imaging (pearls, pitfalls, medicolegal, and reimbursement).
Ichiro Ikuta, MD, MMedSc
12:30 PM1:00 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to summarize the essential and non-essential MRI sequences for assessment of Acute Stroke Patients in order to provide a high-quality diagnostic study in the shortest imaging time, recognize the reasons why an MRI is more optimal than CT for assessment of acute stroke patients, and review a large number of acute stroke MRIs concentrating on diffusion, FLAIR and susceptibility sequences to increase diagnostic confidence when interpreting these MRI sequences for Acute stroke patients.
Jennifer L. Becker, BMBS,MRCR,FRCR
1:00 PM1:30 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to summarize the need for angiographic imaging in acute stroke, identify critical and actionable findings on CT angiography and MR angiography in the setting of acute ischemic stroke, and describe the limitations of angiographic imaging in the setting of acute ischemic stroke.
Hediyeh Baradaran, MD
1:30 PM2:00 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to recognize the role of perfusion scans in current stroke imaging workflow, compare pitfalls and potentials for stroke perfusion imaging, and discuss future of stroke treatment and management.

2:30 PM2:45 PM Break
2:45 PM3:15 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to recall key indication(s) for a ‘rapid’ MRI, recall favorable and unfavorable imaging findings for thrombectomy, and differentiate hemorrhage from contrast staining.
J. Scott McNally, MD
3:15 PM3:45 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to summarize the common clinical concerns and radiologic findings radiologists should expect in post-treatment stroke, review the role of CT in post-stroke treatment, and examine the role of MRI in post-stroke treatment.

3:45 PM4:15 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to understand etiologies of pediatric stroke from neonate through to young adults, recognize Pediatric stroke – perinatal/neonatal, childhood, teens and young adults, and review multimodal imaging and treatment of pediatric stroke.
Jessie Aw-Zoretic, MBBS
4:15 PM4:45 PM
The learning objectives for this course are to recognize the key clinical differences between anterior circulation and posterior circulation infarcts, review the common anterior and posterior circulation stroke syndromes, and identify the relevant anatomy on imaging and how it correlates with clinical symptoms.
