NeuroRadiology

Critical to the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders, neuro radiology experts at the Texas Neurosciences Institute employ advanced neuroimaging techniques and technology. These include:

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
uses radio frequency signals from the brain to create detailed images of tissue structure in the brain.

Computerized Tomography (CT)
allows instant evaluation of stroke, trauma and subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Cerebral Angiography
monitor blood vessels and blood flow in and around the brain.

3T Magnetic Resonance Angiography
allows the imaging of aneurysms smaller than 3 mm.

3T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
allows imaging of the specific vessel that has been compromised by aCVA. It provides physicians with information about blood vessel pathology and can be used in place of cerebral angiography.

Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS)
gives physicians secure and instant access to their patients’ histories and radiographic images anytime and anywhere with the simple touch of a button. This includes the latest technology in MRI/MRA movies and 3-D CT angiograms of cerebral vasculature. Expert radiologists with special training in neuroscience imaging can consult with referring physicians anywhere in the country.
