🙏🙏🙏 much-needed dogmalysis. I’ve seen situations where folks were afraid to even place a Bp cuff ipsilateral to prior mastectomy. this excessive fear impairs patient care. https://t.co/afjwjjseo7

Don’t have CTP worry not! No MRI/MRP worry not! Good old non-contrast CTH performs just as well for pt selection! But I do like those colored CBF, CBV, MTT maps & don’t like the errors in image processing! This will inc access to late thrombectomy #NoELVOleftbehind @almuftifawaz https://t.co/vBv5y2IDjT
