Brain Imaging
Neurological radiology is a subspecialty of diagnostic radiology that focuses on imaging and diagnosing diseases and conditions affecting the brain, spine, head, neck, and central nervous system (CNS). Neuroradiologists use advanced imaging techniques to assess neurological structures, helping diagnose and guide treatment for a variety of conditions ranging from strokes to brain tumors.
Neurological Imaging Exams
- CT provides detailed cross-sections of the brain
- MRI offers highly detailed brain imaging
- PET can detect metabolic activity in the brain, which can help diagnose Alzheimer's and cancer
- 3D Mammography allows for better detection of small cancers and reducing false positives
- Breast Biopsy is used to collect tissue samples
