Principles Of CT Stroke Imaging

This module introduces the essential principles of CT stroke protocols and explains how technologists rapidly evaluate patients with suspected stroke. It describes how non contrast CT CT angiography and CT perfusion support assessment of hemorrhage ischemia and vascular occlusion. The content highlights the importance of rapid workflow communication with stroke teams and contrast timing. It also explains how technologists reduce motion and optimize slice selection. The module emphasizes the importance of radiation reduction strategies and protocol accuracy. By understanding stroke CT protocols technologists can support rapid accurate diagnosis.
