Neuroradiology Essentials
Read brain and spine CT and MRI studies with a systematic approach to acute and chronic neurologic pathology.
What this track covers
This track covers interpretation of brain and spine imaging across acute and chronic presentations, including stroke and hemorrhage protocols, tumor characterization, demyelinating disease patterns, and degenerative spine findings. It emphasizes correlating imaging findings with neurologic presentation to support accurate, timely diagnosis.
What you will practice
- Work through acute stroke and hemorrhage protocols on CT and MRI
- Differentiate demyelinating disease patterns from other white matter lesions
- Characterize intracranial masses by location and imaging features
- Stage degenerative spine findings and correlate with clinical presentation
- Apply a structured search pattern to avoid missed findings on cross-sectional neuroimaging
Simulator scenario
A patient presents with sudden-onset focal neurologic deficit, and the clinician must select and interpret the appropriate imaging protocol under time pressure to guide next steps.
Board question topics
- Acute stroke and hemorrhage imaging patterns
- Intracranial tumor characterization
- Demyelinating disease on MRI
- Degenerative spine imaging findings
