What is it?
A neuroradiologist performs advanced imaging techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions of the brain, spinal cord, head and neck, including stroke and cerebral aneurysms.
Aneuroradiologist’s work involves specialist techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed topography (CT) scans.
As well as playing an important role in diagnosis, neuroradiologists work closely with colleagues in neurosurgery to provide highly accurate imaging techniques to ensure precision in the operating theatre.
What conditions does it cover?
The most common conditions our experts are called upon to provide an opinion on are:
- Diagnosis of brain or spinal cord injuries, diseases or conditions
- Blood vessel disorders in the brain or spinal cord
- Brain injuries, including anoxic injury or traumatic brain injury
