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.

The use of neuroimaging in pain medicine

by Dr Christopher Jenner, Consultant in Pain Medicine

The phenomenon of acute pain serves two main purposes. First, it acts as a warning system to the body that the risk from harm is imminent. Second, it indicates that an injury has already occurred, and a period of rest is required while healing takes place. However, once pain has persisted for more than 3 […]

Imaging Techniques for the Evaluation of Brain Injuries

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a relatively frequent occurrence, the consequences of which can be devastating for the patient. Prompt identification and management of injuries can make a significant difference to their course.

The Role of Neuroimaging in Neonatal Brain Injuries due to Hypoxic-Ischaemic Encephalopathy

Brain injuries arising from hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) can be devastating and are one of the commonest causes of morbidity and mortality in new-born infants. Assessing the neurological status of a new-born baby can be extremely challenging, due to the severity of their condition and the drugs used to stabilise it. Therefore, imaging techniques are vital tools in the management of infants with suspected HIE.
