3 OVERVIEW AND TARGET AUDIENCE NEURORADIOLOGY IS RAPIDLY EXPANDING INTO INDIVIDUALIZED PATIENT CARE, making radiologists more active members of the health care delivery team of today. This course will feature didactic educational sessions which address day-to-day problem-solving in our reading rooms and their translation into effective patient care. The content will also include case-based and self-assessment sessions. Our comprehensive program is designed for general radiologists, neuroradiologists, trainees, and nuclear medicine physicians. It may also be of interest to ENT surgeons, neurosurgeons, neurologists, and oncologists. The course will focus on anatomy, physiology and pathology of the head and neck, skull base, cranial nerves, central nervous system, vasculature, and spine. Focused sessions include: Applications and interpretation of advanced imaging techniques to help diagnose and treat skull base pathology The expanding role of neuroradiologists in preoperative mapping of brain and neck neoplasias to determine surgical candidacy and appropriate treatments Emergency room triage for CNS and neck urgencies Evaluation of CNS diseases including inflammation, infection, and neurodegenerative disorders Imaging gently to create a safe and quality environment for neurodiagnosis and neurointervention
