Neuroimaging

Neuroradiology is a branch of medical imaging focused on spotting abnormalities of the central and peripheral nervous system, spine, head and neck. These highly trained doctors use CT, MRI, X-ray and other techniques to diagnose strokes, tumors, aneurysms and other neurological conditions.

VIDEO: Role of PFO closure in stroke prevention
John Carroll, MD, director of interventional cardiology and professor of medicine at the University of Colorado, explains the state of transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) to prevent stroke.
Stroke care still lags among certain Medicare populations
Despite increases of 250% for CTA and 428% for CTP, researchers observed lower rates of neuroimaging utilization among rural residents, older individuals (80 years and above), women and Black patients.
Automated CT scoring system accurately predicts prognosis in stroke patients
The study used non-contrast CT and CT perfusion imaging to analyze agreement between an automated reader and human radiologists with differing experience levels.
Mobile stroke units improve patient outcomes, reduce risk of disability
Researchers tracked data from more than 1,000 patients who received care from 2014 to 2020.

What does radiology have to do with climate change?

Kate Hanneman, MD, explains why many vendors and hospitals want to lower radiology's impact on the environment. "Taking steps to reduce the carbon footprint in healthcare isn’t just an opportunity," she said. "It’s also a responsibility."
