Goals and Expectations:

Goals:

Residents will be introduced to the science that underlies clinical neuroradiology, in particular neuroanatomy and neuropathology.

Residents will be taught the practical clinical skills necessary to interpret neuroradiologic studies, including plain radiographs, computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and ultrasound examinations of: 1) brain and skull; 2) head and neck; and 3) spinal cord and vertebral column. They will learn the relative value of each modality, enabling them to choose the appropriate study and the appropriate protocol for each patient.

Expectations:

• Always arrive in a timely manner. 

• Let the attending know if there are any critical/urgent findings and confirm if it needs to be relayed to the primary team. 

• Complete accurate dictations in a timely manner. 

• Field phone calls related to Neuroradiology.

• Lumbar punctures will be performed with the attending.

• West: 

  • Protocol head CT studies at least 3 days in advance/if you get a call to protocol a study.

    • MRI studies will be protocolled manually, usually by the attendings but you may be asked to assist (learn these when you can, as they're important on call!).
