Training in Interventional Neuroradiology (iRAVi).
Team: Dr. med. univ. Miar Ouaret (PhD candidate); Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. Astrid Grams, MBA,
cand. med. Tobias Kälble
Cooperation: Department for Vascular Surgery, PhD program CIS

In this project the efficiency of different training methods for neurointerventional procedures are compared, e.g. aviation-based methods. In addition the influence of regular computer gaming on the learning-performance of neurointerventions is investigated.

Effects of intra-arterial vasospasmolysis on cerebral perfusion.
Team: Dr. med. univ. Miar Ouaret, Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. Astrid Grams, MBA, Cand. med. Kai Schäfer
Cooperation: Departments for Neurosurgery and Neurology

In this study, the effect of intra-arterial administration of nimodipine, in the context of cerebral vasospasmolysis following subarachnoid hemorrhage, on cerebral perfusion is investigated, using an established software (Kinepict, Budapest, Hungary).

Long-term efficiency of endovascular tretament of intracranial aneurysms in Innsbruck.
Team: Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. Astrid Grams, MBA, Dr. med univ. Lukas Lenhart, PhD; Dr. med. Malik Galijasevic, PhD, Cand med. Victoria Amort, Cand. med. Sebastian Probst, Cand. med. Anton Rieser
Cooperation: Departments for Neurosurgery and Neurology

In this database study, the long-term success of intracranial aneurysms treated endovascularly in Innsbruck is examined retrospectively. This involves recording the need for additional treatment or the occurrence of subarachnoid hemorrhage after the treatment.

Wall enhancement of intracranial aneurysms.
Team: Dr. med. univ. Valentin Ladenhauf; Dr. med. Malik Galijasevic, PhD; Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. Astrid Grams, MBA
Cooperation: Departments for Neurosurgery and Neurology, Neuroimaging Core Facility

In this database study, the presence of contrast enhancement of the wall of intracranial aneurysms before and after endovascular treatment is recorded, and its prognostic value regarding the occurrence of recurrence and the re-treatment rate is assessed.

Dual-Energy computed tomography in stroke.
Team: Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. Astrid Grams, MBA; Dr. med. univ. Constantin Eisenschink (PhD candidate); Dr. med univ. Malik Galijasevic, PhD; Dr. rer. nat. Sergiy Pereverzyev Jr.; Priv.-Doz. Dr. med. univ. Stephanie Mangesius, PhD, Cand. med. Markus Schneider; Cand. med. Theodor Golebiewski
Cooperation: Department of Neurology, PhD programs CID und IGDT-ART; Priv.-Doz. Dr. Lukas Neumann, Department of Technical Mathematics (Leopold-Franzens-Universität University, Innsbruck)

In this project, the diagnostic accuracy and prognostic value of dual-energy computed tomography in acute stroke are being investigated. Radiomic- and deep learning-based methods are employed to predict the final infarct size, risk of hemorrhage, and clinical outcome.

Blunt traumatic aortic and supra-aortic injuries after skiing (sporting), motor vehicle accidents and spontaneous.
Team: Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. Elke Gizewski, MHBA; Dr. med. univ. Maximilian Lutz, Ass.-Prof., Dr. med. univ. Alexander Loizides
Cooperation: Departments of Neurology (Assoz.-Prof. Dr. med univ. Michael Knoflach, Dr. med univ. Lukas Mayer-Süß) and Vascular Surgery (Dr. med. univ. David Wippel, Priv.-Doz. Dr. med. univ. Florian Enzmann, Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. Sabine Wipper)

Blunt traumatic aortic injury is a potentially fatal condition, typically resulting from high velocity trauma and can affect also supra-aortic arteries. To this point, little is known about this injury among sports such as skiers, who form the largest patient cohort with aortic injuries in the alpine region of Tyrol, Austria. We aim to analyse patient and imaging characteristics in combined and isolated traumatic dissections.
