Medical Training AINeuroradiology Brain and Spine Imaging
Read brain and spine CT and MRI studies with a systematic approach and flag findings that require urgent action.
What this track covers
This track covers brain CT and MRI interpretation, acute stroke and vascular imaging, tumor characterization, and spine pathology. It emphasizes pattern recognition and structured reporting for cross-sectional neuroimaging encountered in emergency and outpatient settings.
What you will practice
- Distinguish acute hemorrhage subtypes on non-contrast CT
- Apply a stroke protocol reading pattern across CT and MR sequences
- Differentiate intra-axial from extra-axial mass lesions
- Recognize cord compression and degenerative spine findings on MRI
- Identify vascular malformations and aneurysms on CTA and MRA
Simulator scenario
A patient presents with acute focal neurologic deficit and the reader must select and interpret the appropriate stroke imaging sequence to guide next steps.
Board question topics
- Hemorrhage pattern recognition on CT
- Stroke imaging sequence selection
- Tumor mimic differentiation
- Spine trauma and degenerative findings
