Overview

Neuroradiology is a subspecialty of radiology focused on the imaging-based diagnosis—and in some cases, minimally invasive treatment—of diseases affecting the central and peripheral nervous system, as well as the spine and head and neck region. It uses advanced techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), cerebral angiography, and image-guided interventional procedures.


Common Conditions Treated

  • Brain and spinal cord tumors
  • Brain aneurysms and vascular malformations
  • Cerebrovascular accidents (ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes)
  • Multiple sclerosis and other demyelinating diseases
  • Cervical or lumbar disc herniations
  • Head and spinal trauma
  • Structural epilepsy
  • Central nervous system infections (abscesses, encephalitis, etc.)
  • Hydrocephalus
  • Neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, etc.)

What to Expect During Your Visit

The patient is usually referred by a specialist. An advanced imaging test (such as MRI or CT) is performed and interpreted by the neuroradiologist. If needed, a minimally invasive image-guided procedure may be carried out. A detailed report is then sent to the referring physician for further diagnosis or treatment.
