Neuroradiology is a subspecialty of radiology focusing on the characterization and diagnosis of abnormalities of the central and peripheral nervous system, spine and head and neck using neuroimaging techniques. Multidisciplinary meetings involving the radiology, neurology, neurosurgery and pathology departments, steered by the residents and facilitated by faculty are held every week where challenging cases and patient management are discussed.
