Neuro Imaging

Female doctor of Asian descent showing her patient his brain scanNeuroradiology is the subspecialty of radiology that uses advanced imaging techniques to evaluate the brain, spine, neck, ears-nose-and throat. All of our neuroradiologists are board certified. After 4 years of medical school, 1 year of internship and 4 years of diagnostic radiology residency, our neuroradiologists completed an additional 1 to 2 years of a dedicated neuroradiology fellowship. We have trained at our country’s leading institutions, including Johns Hopkins, Columbia University, The University of Pennsylvania, Yale University, Mount Sinai School of Medicine and The University of Miami.

The imaging procedures we provide are performed on state-of-the-art equipment, including multi-slice CT scanners and high field (1.5 T and 3 T) MRI systems. We individualize scans to each patient’s unique medical history and symptoms. The imaging studies include conventional MRI and CT of the neurologic system, as well as advanced neuroimaging. The latter includes MR and CT angiography, MR and CT perfusion, MR spectroscopy, diffusion tensor imaging (also known as tractography) and functional MRI. We also perform several subspecialty procedures, including x-ray guided lumbar punctures, myelography and discography.

We work closely with our pediatric and adult colleagues in neurosurgery, neurology, otolaryngology, orthopedic surgery, emergency medicine, general medicine and pediatrics to provide coordinated multidisciplinary care for our patients. We participate with our clinical colleagues in several nationally funded medical trials. We have earned a reputation of excellence and compassion by consistently providing patient-centered care and accurate interpretations of neuroimaging examinations.
