Title: Cerebral Image Interpretation for the Advanced Practice Nurse, Part I

February 11, 2026 (Wednesday) 4pm-6pm via Zoom

Description: Radiological cerebral imaging (CT, MRI, and Angiogram) can be challenging for the practicing Clinical Nurse Specialist and Nurse Practitioner. It requires an understanding of cerebral anatomy and physiology applied to an image. Although aimed at Advance Practice Nurses, this course will be of value to any nurse working in the ED, ICU, Neuro Unit, Interventional Radiology, oncology and Out-Patient clinics. The course is aimed at nurses with limited knowledge of image interpretation. More advanced courses are available. Although for Part I, the primary focus is neurovascular imaging, brain tumors, cerebral trauma, and other cerebral conditions will be addressed in the Part II course. This course is foundational to Part II course.

Objectives:
1. Identify benefits of axial, coronal and sagittal views of the brain on cerebral imaging.
2. Locate hemispheres, lobes, vasculature, ventricular systems, and meninges on imaging.
3. Discuss effects of increased intracranial pressure on CT and MRI imaging.
4. Compare anterior and posterior arterial circulation on cerebral angiograms.

Agenda:

1600-1700 Principles of cerebral imaging of CT, MRI and Angiogram
