Try a scenario from this pack
A real scenario, exactly as the panel would put it to you.
You are the consultant radiologist covering the acute stroke pathway at a tertiary hospital at 02:00. A 62-year-old man with atrial fibrillation, last known well 90 minutes ago, arrives with dense right hemiparesis, global aphasia and an NIHSS of 18. The non-contrast CT shows loss of the left insular ribbon and early hypoattenuation of the lentiform nucleus with a hyperdense left middle cerebral artery, and you score the ASPECTS at 8. The stroke physician is standing beside you asking whether he can thrombolyse now and whether this patient should be moved to the angiography suite. How would you manage this case?
What the panel is assessing
The panel is testing rapid, structured hyperacute stroke interpretation under time pressure and the candidate's ability to convert imaging findings into an actionable reperfusion decision communicated clearly to a waiting clinical team.
