Mahsa Mayeli: A Comprehensive Review of Imaging in Posterior Circulation Stroke
Mahsa Mayeli, Postdoctoral Associate at Yale University, shared on LinkedIn about a recent article she and her colleagues co-authored, published in Emergency Radiology, adding:
”Excited to share our latest publication on posterior circulation stroke!
PCS accounts for 20–25% of ischemic strokes but is frequently missed at initial presentation.
In this review, we summarize the current evidence for established and emerging imaging modalities used in the emergency department, including non-contrast CT, CTA, CT perfusion, MRI with DWI, and newer techniques such as dual-energy CT and portable low-field MRI.
Our review highlights the strengths and limitations of each modality and emphasizes that accurate diagnosis often requires selecting the right imaging approach—or combination of approaches—based on the clinical question and available resources.
Congratulations to all my co-authors!
Looking forward to seeing continued advances in stroke imaging and patient care.”
