Reviewing imaging studies can be intimidating, especially in cases of stroke where various imaging modalities, such as CT, MRI, and vascular studies, are involved.

Knowing which scan, which view, and where the lesion is suspected is essential to building confidence. The more scans one reviews, including normal scans, the more comfortable they will become with the process.
