(MR-RESCUE)
The MR RESCUE trial is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, blinded outcome evaluator, phase IIB trial employing a clot retrieval device in patients experiencing acute ischemic stroke due to a proximal large vessel anterior circulation occlusion 0-8 hours from symptom onset. Successful conduct of the trial will evaluate whether use of multimodal imaging is a rational and appropriate selection criterion for mechanical recanalization therapy for acute ischemic stroke.

Patients Prone to Recurrence after Endovascular Treatment: a
randomized trial comparing platinum and hydrogel-coated coils
(PRET)
The PRET trial is a large multicentre prospective randomized trial of endovascular management of aneurysms prone to recurrence after endovascular treatment comparing hydrogel-coated and platinum standard coil. It aims to recruit 250 patients with large aneurysms (≥ 10mm) and 250 patients with recurrent aneurysms in 23-40 centres in two years. The clinical impact will be of major significance if substantial differences are found in the outcome according to a randomized procedure.

2R01 HL075792-08A1 (NHLBI) Comprehensive magnetic resonance in PAD
Aim 1 is to optimize contrast enhanced and non-contrast MRI techniques to fully quantify blood flow in the calf muscle in patients with PAD. The second aim is to compare stressors (exercise vs. cuff occlusion) in the measurement of peak blood flow. Aim 3 is to use the optimized techniques in Aims 1 and 2 to test the benefit of home exercise therapy on peak calf muscle blood flow and energetics in patients with PAD.

Systemic Assessment of ASIR Algorithm for Optimal Neuroimaging in terms of Image Quality and Radiation Dose
The goal of this project is to test systematically the use of the ASIR algorithm for all neuroradiology CT protocols, including perfusion-CT, and determine whether, using ASIR, the radiation dose associated with these protocols can be reduced while the image quality is maintained.
