Evidence-Based Vascular Neuroimaging

The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd. —Bertrand RussellThe practice of medicine has traditionally relied heavily on physicians’ personal experiences and observations from retrospective or case control studies. During the past century, there has been a gradual shift and recognition that the science and practice of medicine should ins tead be grounded in scientifically sound evidence. The current shift to “value-based” health care model means the evidentiary basis of studies is increasingly scrutinized, and sophisticated hierarchies of evidence have been proposed.
