Improved imaging biomarkers will continue to push the boundaries of clinical care for neurological diseases. My research is focusing on develop standardized measures of brain perfusion, known to be of high importance in the setting of acute ischemic stroke. As more and more patients with stroke are taken directly for mechanical thrombectomy catheter angiography derived imaging markers has the potential to provide timely information to guide treatment.

The Foundation of the ASNR grant has provided important initial resources for me to perform this work during the transition from a busy fellowship to junior faculty.
