Neuroradiology is a subspecialty ofradiology focusing on the diagnosis and characterization of abnormalities of thecentral andperipheral nervous system,spine, and head and neck usingneuroimaging techniques. Medical issues utilizing neuroradiology includearteriovenous malformations,tumors,aneurysms, andstrokes.[1]
Neuroradiology began in the early 1900s soon afterWilhelm Röntgen discoveredX-rays, with the use of skullradiographs to evaluatebrain tumours.[2][3]
The first full-timeneuroradiologist in the US wasCornelius Gysbert Dyke, MD (1900–1943) at theNew York Neurological Institute in 1930.[4][5][6]
The major professional association in the United States representing neuroradiologists is th American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR). The ASNR publishes theAmerican Journal of Neuroradiology (AJNR). The ASNR annual meeting rotates through different cities, and usually takes place between late April and early June. The specialty neuroradiology societies that are associated with the ASNR include theAmerican Society of Pediatric Neuroradiology (ASPNR), theAmerican Society of Spine Radiology (ASSR), theAmerican Society of Head and Neck Radiology (ASHNR), and theAmerican Society of Functional Neuroradiology (ASFNR). These societies contribute to the programming of the ASNR annual meeting and also hold their own annual meetings.
The major professional association in Europe is theEuropean Society of Neuroradiology (ESNR). In Japan, it is theJapanese Neuroradiological Society; in the UK, it is theBritish Society of Neuroradiologists (BSNR); and in France, it is theFrench Society of Neuroradiology (SFNR). The ESNR and the Japanese society publishNeuroradiology, and the SFNR publishes theJournal of Neuroradiology.
