Diagnostic Neuroradiology

What Neuroradiology Is Used for | Available Neuroradiology Services

Neuroradiology is a subspecialty of radiology that focuses on imaging of the brain, spine, head and neck. Using advanced techniques and equipment, these imaging studies help physicians identify neurological problems, plan successful surgeries, and assess the impact of treatments.

Neuroradiology at University Radiology

University Radiology’s highly-skilled neuroradiologists have extensive experience with a variety of imaging techniques and neurological conditions. Several of our physicians have obtained Certificates of Added Qualification in addition to their residency and fellowship training.

Our convenient, outpatient imaging facilities include eight 3T (Tesla) MRI scanners, 17 high-field 1.5T MRI machines, and three 1.2T open MRIs. We have 24 state-of-the-art CT scanners.

In addition to neuroradiologic imaging studies, we also offer interventional neuroradiology services for patients in NJ. Using imaging guidance, our neurointerventional radiologists can provide targeted treatments for aneurysms, strokes, and certain cancers.

What Neuroradiology Is Used for

In acute settings such as hospital emergency departments, neuroradiology studies are often used to detect ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes for immediate intervention. Neuroradiology also assists in diagnosing:

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the brain, spine, and neck
Brain aneurysms
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Spinal cord injuries and spinal fractures
Degenerative disc disease
Brain and spine tumors
Cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leaks
Alzheimer’s disease
Parkinson’s disease
Encephalitis

For patients with cancer and neurological diseases, neuroradiology also plays a role in tracking the effectiveness of different treatments, such as chemotherapy.

Available Neuroradiology Services

At our New Jersey radiology clinics, we use a wide range of techniques to capture accurate images of neurologic issues, including:

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
MRA (Magnetic Resonance Angiography)
MR spectroscopy
FMRI (Functional MRI)
CT (Computed Tomography)
CTA (CT Angiography)
Myelography
PET scans (Positron Emission Tomography)
Lumbar puncture
Dentascans (for presurgical planning in dental implantation)

University Radiology physicians also provide in-office patient consultations, often in conjunction with our neurointerventional radiology doctors.
