Research Summary

Dr. Yedavalli is a recognized leader and clinical researcher in the translational application of advanced neuroimaging in the setting of acute ischemic stroke and stroke-related diseases. Dr. Yedavalli’s primary focus has been the novel application of perfusion imaging on MRI and CT as biomarkers for functional outcomes in acute ischemic stroke caused by a vessel occlusion for diagnosis and prognostication.
