Neuroimaging

Neuroradiology is a branch of medical imaging focused on spotting abnormalities of the central and peripheral nervous system, spine, head and neck. These highly trained doctors use CT, MRI, X-ray and other techniques to diagnose strokes, tumors, aneurysms and other neurological conditions.

The FDA has OK’d a new artificial intelligence platform for quickly diagnosing stroke on unenhanced CT scans.
VIDEO: AI for stroke detection on CT imaging
Bibb Allen, MD, FACR, chief medical officer of the American College of Radiology (ACR) Data Science Institute, explains the trend of using AI for the automated detection of stroke on computed tomography (CT) imaging and the need to include radiologists on the stroke care team.
Stroke care still lags among certain Medicare populations
Despite increases of 250% for CTA and 428% for CTP, researchers observed lower rates of neuroimaging utilization among rural residents, older individuals (80 years and above), women and Black patients.
Better neuroimaging guidelines could save practices millions, research shows
In the study, MRI scans were responsible for 70% of neuroimaging spending, despite accounting for only 25% of completed exams.
