Course

Lobar intracerebral hemorrhage + cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) — imaging clues (microbleeds) and implications (Advanced)

Advanced course: some lobar hemorrhages in older adults are linked to cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Learn imaging clues (lobar microbleeds on susceptibility MRI), how CT/MRI contribute, and what questions to ask about recurrence risk and meds
