Neuroimaging markers of small vessel disease - Insights from STRIVE-2
Speaker: Dr. Aravind Ganesh
The original STandards for ReportIng Vascular changes on nEuroimaging (STRIVE) guidelines represent an effort to develop definitions and imaging standards for markers and consequences of small vessel disease (SVD). STRIVE guidelines are recommended in their application to research studies and in clinical settings to standardise image interpretation, acquisition, and reporting. In 2023, an updated version of the STRIVE guidelines was published (STRIVE-2), highlighting advances since the original 2013 publication which take into account new information on established SVD markers and novel MRI sequences and imaging features that have emerged.
Learning Objectives:
Review the key updates from the second STRIVE paper on imaging markers of small vessel disease
Go over imaging examples of each MRI marker of small vessel disease
Dr. Aravind Ganesh is a Vascular and Cognitive Neurologist. He completed his MD degree at the University of Calgary, followed by a DPhil in Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Oxford’s Centre for Prevention of Stroke and Dementia, and then neurology residency and a combined fellowship in stroke and cognitive neurology in Calgary. His clinical research is focused on the imaging, natural history, prevention, and treatment of stroke and cognitive impairment, and he was one of the coauthors of STRIVE-2.
