This allows development of short and long term management plans for that specific patient.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThroughout \u003ci\u003eNeurovascular Examination\u003c\/i\u003e the functional significance or hemodynamic effects of vascular lesions are emphasized.  Stroke is presented as a dynamic process that needs careful and expert monitoring for optimal management.  The how-to approach emphasizes essential concepts over mathematical complexities.  A straightforward explanation of the physics of flow sets the scene for clinical action and common hemodynamic scenarios. You will learn how to differentiate key physiological details that are beyond the static, anatomical limits of other imaging modalities. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCase examples with a standard template format correlate presentation to waveform output.
