Neuroradiographer

A Neuroradiographer is a specialized professional who focuses on creating and interpreting images of the nervous system using various forms of radiation, including x-rays, sound waves, and other energy sources. They are primarily concerned with the clinical imaging, therapy, and basic science of the central and peripheral nervous system, which includes the brain, spine, head, and neck. Neuroradiographers play a crucial role in diagnosing and treating neurological diseases by providing valuable insights through their expertise in neuroimaging techniques. General Responsibilities: 1. Understanding the indications for neuroimaging examinations and neuroradiological procedures for neurological disease 2. Understanding the limitations of neuroimaging examinations for the evaluation of neurological disease 3. Understanding the risks, benefits, and impact on the patient and family for each procedure 4. Observing and interpreting imaging studies of the brain, orbits, facial bones, and emergency neuroradiology in the Brain Reading Room 5. Observing and interpreting studies of the spine, neck, sinuses, and temporal bones in the Spine Reading Room 6. Observing and participating in fluoroscopically-guided lumbar punctures, myelograms, and chemotherapy injections 7. Observing catheter-based diagnostic neuroradiology and endovascular surgical neuroradiology procedures
