1. Describe the essential imaging modalities used in the acute evaluation of stroke, including when and why each is used (e.g., non-contrast CT, CT angiography, CT perfusion, MRI). 2. Recognize key imaging findings that influence acute stroke management decisions, including identification of large vessel occlusion (LVO), hemorrhage, and early ischemic changes. 3. Understand the rationale behind stroke imaging protocols and how they align with time-sensitive treatment pathways (e.g., thrombolysis and thrombectomy eligibility). 4. Collaborate effectively with radiology teams by improving communication and understanding of imaging terminology and critical findings in stroke reports.
