Overview
Neuroradiology is the subspecialty concerning imaging and radiological procedures related to the brain, spine, head and neck in adults. The imaging studies and procedures our 9 fellowship-trained Neuroradiologists provide for adults and children include:
•  MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
•  MR Angiography (MRA)
•  CT (Computed Tomography)
•  CT Angiography (CTA)
•  Myelography
•  Dentascans (for presurgical planning in dental implantation)
•  Office patient consultations (often in conjunction with Neurointerventional

   services)
•  Advanced imaging techniques such as MR spectroscopy and functional MRI

   (fMRI) 

Our outpatient Neuroradiologic imaging facilities include 7 high-field 1.5 T MRI scanners and two open MRI’s (including a new 0.7 T high-field open MRI). We have 7 CT scanners (including a state-of-the-art 64-slice multidetector CT and a 16-slice multidetector CT).

Four of our physicians provide Neurointerventional services in our affiliated hospitals, including:
•  Treatment of brain aneurysms (using coils, balloons, etc.)
•  Treatment of arteriovenous malformations (AVM) of the brain (coils, balloons,

   glue, particles, etc.)
•  Angioplasty and stenting of the carotid arteries and intracranial blood vessels
•  Presurgical tumor embolization
•  Stroke therapy
•  Vertebroplasty - designed to alleviate the pain related to spine compression

   fractures
•  Discography
•  CT guided biopsies

Our Neuroradiologists are also involved in multiple research projects including:
•  Use of new coils, stents, and other devices and procedures in aneurysm and

   AVM treatment
•  Early detection and treatment of stroke
•  Functional MRI in children with autism
