CT Perfusion (CTP) scans - diagnosing ischemic stroke

In this episode of M.ed Pod, Tyson Schwab is joined by Jamie Sessions, MSN, RN, CEN. Their guest is Lee Chung, MD, Vascular Neurologist, Associate Professor, and Director of TeleStroke at University of Utah Health. Dr. Chung will share insights about the use of CT Perfusion (CTP) scans in the diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke. He will discuss indications for CTP and the updated research supporting CTP use.

Continuing Medical Education (CME) learners should be able to answer the following questions/learning objectives:

Identify indications for CT Perfusion in treating acute ischemic stroke.
State how CTP use in AIS can differentiate between AIS and stroke mimics.
