Evaluation of tissue salvage in ischemic stroke based on treatment type

This project is closed. No applications are allowed.

The overall goal of this study is to evaluate the relationship of pretreatment perfusion mismatch volumes to outcomes in patients receiving alteplase (ALT) to those patients receiving tenecteplase (TNK).

Ischemic stroke lesion volumes will be assessed at baseline and after treatment to calculate lesion growth trajectories and the volume of tissue salvaged due to reperfusion.

I'M INTERESTED IN THIS PROJECT. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

The Office of Undergraduate Research recommends that you attend an info session or advising before contacting faculty members or project contacts about research opportunities. We'll cover the steps to get involved, tips for contacting faculty, funding possibilities, and options for course credit. Once you have attended an Office of Undergraduate Research info session or spoken to an advisor, you can use the "Who to contact" details for this project to get in touch with the project leader and express your interest in getting involved.
