The Section of Neuroradiology’s staff physicians are all fellowship trained and have earned Certificates of Added Qualification in Neuroradiology from the American Board of Radiology.
Cleveland Clinic staff members are highly skilled in MRI, CT, myelography, diagnostic cerebral/spinal angiography, interventional neuro-radiology and transcranial Doppler.
The training and extensive daily experience of our neuroradiologists has enabled them to develop subspecialties within their field to better serve the specialized needs of our referring physicians. Diagnostic subspecialty areas of expertise include cerebrovascular disease, spine imaging, pediatric neuroradiology, otolaryngology, epilepsy, MR angiography, transcranial Doppler and carotid ultrasound.
Cleveland Clinic neurointerventionalists are all proficient in the therapeutic approach of acute stroke (“Brain Attack”), internal/external carotid artery embolizations, GDC coil occlusion of intracranial aneurysms, treatment of vasospasm and atherosclerotic occlusive disease and carotid artery stenting.
Research in this section continues to evolve, with an emphasis on topics that are especially important to our clinical practice. Examples include a large-scale, multicenter prospective trial of carotid artery MRA; the neuro-imaging of acute stroke; intra-arterial thrombolysis for acute stroke; cytoprotective agents for acute stroke patients; carotid artery stenting; transcranial Doppler; malformations of brain cortical development; animal model for assessment and treatment of hydrocephalus; treatment and neuro-imaging of multiple sclerosis; and the Gliatech multicenter clinical trial for the prevention of postoperative peridural fibrosis.
