Neuroradiology
GW offers a one-year fellowship in Neuroradiology that exposes fellows to a large number of diagnostic exams in a varied patient population. There is substantial exposure to imaging for stroke, trauma, oncology, infectious and inflammatory conditions, seizure, and dementia.
There is active collaboration with a busy stroke service, neurosurgery, and ENT surgery, with regular multidisciplinary conferences. The fellows also are involved with teaching the GW radiology residents, both informally during daily readout and formally in didactic lectures.
Procedures & Rotations
GW Neuroradiology fellows are exposed to a wide array of cutting-edge procedures at GW and its prestigious partner institutions.
In addition to standard CT and MR imaging, advanced imaging techniques, such as functional MRI, quantitative MR for seizure and dementia evaluation, CSF flow imaging, MR spectroscopy, and MR tractography are performed. The Neuroradiology fellows participate in the neurointerventional cases performed in the Interventional Radiology and Interventional Neurosurgery divisions. Cerebrovascular angiography, facet and nerve root blocks, discography, vertebroplasty, stent placement, embolization procedures, and thrombolysis are among the procedures performed. Lumbar puncture under fluoroscopy and myelography are also performed.
The fellows also rotate to Children's National Medical Center for training in pediatric Neuroradiology, as well as to the National Institutes of Health for research experience.
