Background

The BASP CT Training lecture was developed in 2003.

Its aim is to help those who need to review CT brain scans for bleeding & infarct signs, in the context of a patient with stroke symptoms, for example:

• Stroke Physicians
• Emergency / Acute Medicine doctors
• Geriatricians
• Radiology trainees / registrars / residents

It was developed by the University of Edinburgh Imaging group in conjunction with the British Association of Stroke Physicians (BASP).

• British Association of Stroke Physicians (BASP) doctors in training

Completing the BASP CT Training lecture may be helpful if:

• You are introducing a new thrombolysis service
• You are likely to be working in a unit where you will see many acute stroke patients
• You feel that your scan reading skills are either rusty or have never been developed in the first place
