Medlantis

Dr. Mandell reviews the auto regulatory curve and cerebrovascular reactivity, as well as the importance of measuring CVR. The technique of using carbon dioxide and blood oxygen level dependent MRI to measure vascular reserve. Clinical applications of BOLD CVR.

Learning Objectives

Some patients have a need for surgical intervention to treat intracranial low flow states. Others will not benefit from this intervention. In this talk Dr. Mikulis identifies specific appearances of the causes of intracranial stenosis.

After participating in this activity, learners should be able to:

• Understand the role of vaso reactivity in ischemia tolerance
• Discuss the role of carbon dioxide in vasoreactivity
• Be aware of the concept of territory at risk
