Neuroradiology
Advanced Imaging For Disease Diagnostics
Neuroradiology is a subspecialty of radiology that specializes in diagnostic imaging of the brain, spine and head and neck. Neuroradiologists work closely with other physicians to help interpret imaging and are vitally important in effectively diagnosing and managing various conditions. Medical Center Radiologists’ neuroradiologists are highly experienced in providing a precise diagnosis when examining even the most difficult of scans.
Our Hampton Roads, VA, Neuroradiologists
Neuroradiologists undergo extensive and rigorous training and must first obtain board certification in radiology. They then spend one or two years in neuroradiology fellowship training after diagnostic radiology residency focused on studying various diseases such as stroke, demyelinating disease, neurodegenerative disease, brain tumors, head and neck cancer, neurovascular disease, trauma, back pain and other neurologic diseases. They must then complete an examination in diagnostic neuroradiology every ten years.
The MCR neuroradiologists work closely with both primary physicians and specialists, including neurologists, neurosurgeons and otolaryngologists. They participate weekly in the head & neck and neuro-oncology tumor board conferences, which are multidisciplinary conferences focused on complex cases. Our neuroradiologists are also trained to perform procedures such as lumbar punctures and myelograms.
Neuroradiology Imaging Modalities
MCR’s neuroradiologists use various imaging techniques in order to evaluate and then interpret brain, spine, head and neck function. The primary imaging modalities in neuroradiology are Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI); however, MCR neuroradiologists also provide interpretations for more advanced imaging including:
Neuroradiology Procedures
In addition to using advanced imaging to detect abnormalities of the brain, neck, head and spine, our neuroradiologists are able to perform various minimally invasive procedures, which can be especially important in the diagnosing of certain conditions. Our neuroradiologists perform the following:
