Background

The BASP CT Training lecture was developed in 2003.

Its aim is to help those who need to review CT brain scans for bleeding & infarct signs, in the context of a patient with stroke symptoms, for example:

  • Stroke Physicians
  • Emergency / Acute Medicine doctors
  • Geriatricians
  • Radiology trainees / registrars / residents

It was developed by the University of Edinburgh Imaging group in conjunction with the British Association of Stroke Physicians (BASP).
