Navigating Stroke Care: A Comprehensive Guide to Imaging, Classification, and Case Analysis
Thursday, April 3 | 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM ET | Le Westin Montréal
The workshop is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of stroke imaging, focusing on both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, stroke mimics, and pediatric stroke. Through a combination of didactic lectures and hands-on PACS case reviews, attendees will gain practical knowledge and improve their skills in interpreting stroke imaging, enhancing their ability to make critical diagnostic and treatment decisions in clinical practice.
Target Audience: Radiologists, Trainees (PGY 4-5 & Fellows)
Registration fees include lunch after the workshop and a coffee break. Participants will need to bring a laptop. Further details will be sent prior to the workshop.
| Registration Category | Rate |
|---|---|
| CAR Member – Radiologist | $500 |
| Trainee – PGY 4-5 & Fellows | $375 |
| Non-Member Radiologist | $650 |
Participants do not need to be registered for CAR 2025 to attend the workshop.
