| Predictive Prevention and Personalized Interventional Stroke Therapy - P3-Stroke The goal of the P3-Stroke project is to improve the
diagnosis and interventional treatment of strokes by
combining the use of magnetic resonance imaging and
angiography.
Conducting separate examinations using different devices
takes time, particularly due to the need to transfer
patients between locations. This is valuable time that
stroke patients do not have. As an average of 2 million
neurons are destroyed every minute, every minute counts
during efforts to prevent major damage after a stroke.
By combining two imaging techniques, magnetic resonance
imaging and angiography, this innovative approach will be
used for diagnosis and immediate treatment, reducing the
time needed for patient transfers and saving valuable
time when treating stroke patients.
The focus of this project will be the combination of
image information that is acquired by these two
modalities.
