Hopefully your competent? doctor can show you an EXACT PICTURE of your stroke damage and EXACTLY describe the areas and functions it compromised and then the EXACT PROTOCOLS to fix the problems caused by this! Well if you have a competent doctor that can be done. But I bet you don't have a competent doctor!
Large‐Vessel Occlusion Art by Sebastian Sanchez, MD
Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology
About the Artist
Sebastian
Sanchez is a neurology resident at Yale University. Before commencing
his residency, he dedicated 2 years to research as a fellow under the
mentorship of Dr Edgar Samaniego at the University of Iowa. During this
tenure, he delved into a spectrum of subjects encompassing stroke and
intracranial aneurysms.
About the Art
By
unveiling intricate cerebral blood flow dynamics, perfusion imaging is a
useful tool for clinical decisions in stroke management. It precisely
maps the ischemic penumbra and core infarct zones, guiding interventions
like endovascular thrombectomy. In large‐vessel occlusion, rapid
changes manifest as color variations on perfusion imaging, indicating
reduced regional blood flow. This Photoshop‐rendered watercolor, based
on perfusion imaging, vividly portrays the evolving impact of a
large‐vessel occlusion affecting the M1 segment of the middle cerebral
artery. As the blood flow is compromised, the colors in the heat map
progress from blue into green, yellow, and red. A representation of the
brain's vasculature is superimposed, abruptly interrupted on the
observer's right by the occlusion, exemplifying the profound disruption
caused by vascular blockages.
