World Stroke Organization 
Description: This one-hour webinar will bring together world-renowned experts to explore the evolving role of neuroimaging in stroke care, including its application in mobile stroke units, patient selection for mechanical thrombectomy, and direct-to-angio strategies. The session is designed to combine foundational knowledge with real-world clinical insights and emerging practices across various healthcare settings. This webinar is supported by an unrestricted educational grant by Siemens Healthineers.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Understand the key imaging modalities used in acute stroke evaluation
- Identify how imaging protocols can be optimized for faster and more accurate triage
- Evaluate the role of neuroimaging in pre-hospital stroke management, including mobile stroke units
- Explore imaging strategies to streamline access to mechanical thrombectomy
