Message from the Section Chief

Welcome to the Neuroradiology Section and our team of fellowship trained Neuroradiologists at VCUHealth. The Neuroradiology section delivers advanced imaging of the brain, spine, head and neck, and skull base supporting the care of patients with complex neurologic diseases. Our neuroradiologists work closely with neurology, neuro-oncology, neurosurgery, otolaryngology and otology in a multidisciplinary environment to advance excellence in patient care and clinical outcomes. We support the Department of Radiology’s mission with a focus on the highest quality in medical student and resident education and professional growth and research. We are committed to training the next generation of neuroradiologists. ~ Melissa Kang, M.D.

Overview

Neuroradiology is comprised of fellowship-trained, board certified radiologists who are highly skilled in providing precise diagnosis of diseases and disorders of the brain, spine, and the head and neck region.

The Neuroradiology section is comprised of fellowship-trained, board certified radiologists who are highly skilled in computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, perfusion imaging and MR spectroscopy. Our radiologists also perform image-guided procedures for diagnostic purposes including fluoroscopic-guided lumbar punctures, myelograms, cisternograms, and diagnostic cerebral and spinal angiography.

A subspecialty of radiology, neuroradiology focuses on the appropriate therapy for the best medical outcomes. Our radiologists are experts in a range of disorders and disease of the spine, trauma, and head and neck cancer, including:

Trauma
Stroke
Brain tumors
Head and neck cancer
Aneurysms
Vascular malformations
Demyelinating disease
Degenerative diseases of the spine

Neuroradiology is integral to VCU Health's designation as a Level I Stroke and Trauma Center. There is active collaboration with specialists in neurology, neurosurgery, ear-nose-throat (ENT), and oncology to offer life-saving treatments.

Neuroradiology Fellowship

The VCU Department of Radiology offers a one-year, ACGME-accredited, diagnostic Neuroradiology Fellowship. Neuroradiology fellows receive training in the full spectrum of neuroradiology topics and modalities, including advanced imaging techniques.
