Neuroradiology is one of the principal subsets of clinical neuroscience. It plays a significant role in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological and psychiatric diseases. A neuroradiologist mainly records and interprets images such as an X-ray, CT scan, and MRI, to diagnosis and treat the disorders in the central and peripheral nervous system, including the brain, spine, head, and neck. Generally, a neuroradiologist is required to work in close collaboration with neurologists, neurosurgeons, and other brain and spinal disorder specialists.
A neuroradiologist undergoes extensive training owing to the complex and delicate nature of the procedures he or she conducts. Specialization in neuroradiology requires up to seven years of postdoctoral residency and fellowship programs after the completion of a medical degree from an accredited medical school. Additionally, board certification in radiology is a prerequisite for neuroradiology training, and the certification should be renewed every 10 years.
