A total of 3 positions are currently available each academic year. Fellows have dedicated exposure to vascular neuroradiology, including rotating on the UCH stroke neurology and endovascular neurosurgery services. Thirteen full-time adult and pediatric faculty share in the training. An active program in neuroscience research is ongoing. Weekly multidisciplinary conferences highlight the clinical interactions.
The fellowship trains radiologists to become independent, competent contributors to the investigation of neurologic disease. The University of Colorado neuroradiology section is headed by Dr. Jody Tanabe, former senior editor at the American Journal of Neuroradiology, and comprised of 8 fellowship trained adult neuroradiologists and 3 neuroradiology fellows.
In addition, radiology residents rotate through the section each month. UCH is the only academic hospital in the state, a level 1 trauma center, an AHA certified comprehensive stroke center, and consistently ranked the best hospital in Colorado and one of the best in the nation. The neuroradiology section works closely with other departments at both sites including Neurology, Neurosurgery, Neuropathology, Neuro-Oncology, Radiation Oncology, and Otolaryngology.
Fellows play a vital role in weekly multidisciplinary conferences with each of these departments and the collaborative environment facilitates rewarding multidisciplinary experiences for our fellows in both clinical care and academic projects.
The neuroradiology fellowship training program is designed to produce highly knowledgeable, well-rounded neuroradiologists who can excel in academic or busy private practice. The fellowship provides training in all aspects of neuroradiology of the adult and pediatric brain, head, neck, and spine, with particular focus on training in advanced imaging techniques such as CT and MR perfusion, functional MRI, diffusion tensor imaging DTI , CSF flow analysis, MR spectroscopy, and advanced vascular imaging techniques including CT and MR angiography, venography, and MR vessel-wall imaging.
Our neuroradiology fellows develop a high level of proficiency in a variety of image-guided procedures including fluoroscopically-guided lumbar punctures and myelography as well as CT-guided spine interventions including dynamic myelography, epidural blood patch for spinal CSF leak, and a variety of pain procedures including facet and epidural steroid injections.
A dedicated neuro-interventional rotation provides hands-on experience in diagnostic cerebral angiography and neuro-endovascular therapeutics. Fellows attend select intra-departmental and inter-departmental conferences which include didactics, neurology case conferences, and neurology and neurosurgery grand rounds.
Weekly teaching conferences are provided by neuroradiology faculty to cover a wide range of topics. Additionally, fellows participate in weekly case conferences and quarterly journal clubs.
In recent years fellows have also contributed to the American Journal of Neuroradiology fellow journal club podcast series. Fellows actively participate in the education of medical students, residents, and technologists by delivering relevant lectures and case conferences. Neuroradiology faculty are involved in wide-ranging neuroscience research including substance use disorders, multiple sclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, brain tumors, head and neck oncology, and other content areas.
Fellows are typically involved in one or more research projects during the fellowship year and are provided, on average, academic days per month. Protected academic time is intended for scholarly pursuits including preparation of didactic lectures given to radiology residents. Fellow research projects have resulted in numerous presentations at national meetings and peer-reviewed publications.
Fellows routinely attend the ASNR annual meeting. It is comprised of two dedicated inpatient pavilions, as well as dedicated Outpatient and Cancer Center pavilions.
With rotations through two major hospitals, the program offers a unique opportunity to study a wide variety of neuropathology and to train in all subspecialties and modalities of neuroradiology. Fellows will participate in the interpretation of all neuroimaging studies including brain, head and neck and spine. The program offers an array of advanced imaging techniques, angiography and image-guided procedures using state-of-the-art angiographic, CT and MRI equipment.
In addition to patient care and interpreting more than 50, imaging procedures annually, the division is deeply involved in basic and clinical research. Our fellows have the opportunity to participate in all facets of patient care, research and teaching. We have graduated more than fellows that have had successful careers in both academics and private practice. During the fellowship, the program provides fellows with the opportunity to develop, under supervision, progressively independent skills in the performance and interpretation of neuroradiologic imaging studies and invasive procedures.
The objective is that, at the end of the program, fellows should be capable of independent and accurate clinical decision-making in all areas of neuroradiology. Curricular goals are achieved through case presentations and lectures provided by fellows, didactic lectures provided by faculty, journal clubs, morning rounds, multidisciplinary conferences, supervised image interpretation and radiology conferences, as well as independent study and observership.
Fellows will have the opportunity to perform or become familiar with procedures, including, but not limited to, cisternography; digital subtraction angiography; head and neck procedures; minimally invasive spine procedures; myelography and spinal punctures and neuroendovascular procedures.
Over the course of the year, rotations will include general adult and pediatric; head and neck radiology and neuro-angio intervention and spine intervention. Robert M. Miller School of Medicine University of Washington University of Rochester Various private practices and teleradiology for various health care centers.

NYU Grossman School of Medicine offers a one-year fellowship in neuroradiology that prepares radiologists to provide neuroimaging services, conduct neuroimaging research, and teach neuroimaging techniques.
Members of our faculty serve as reviewers and editorial board members for prominent neuroimaging academic journals, including Radiology, RadioGraphics, Archives of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery , and the American Journal of Neuroradiology. Borja Angulo, MD , associate program director.
For more information, contact Nati A. Mejias, program coordinator, at nati. Neuroradiology fellows receive in-depth training in adult and pediatric neuroimaging procedures for the brain, spine, head, and neck, and learn the basics of interventional neuroradiology. Fellows gain experience diagnosing and treating a broad spectrum of neurological pathologies and provide advanced neuroimaging services. You also receive training in advanced functional imaging procedures, including perfusion, diffusion imaging, and MR spectroscopy, as well as how to perform and interpret neuroradiologic procedures, including angiography, lumbar punctures, and myelography.
Fellows gain experience with a number of interventional neuroradiology procedures, including lumbar puncture, myelography, epidural blood patches, and bone, spine, and head and neck biopsies. Elective experiences include neuroradiology research, global radiology, neurosurgery, fetal MRI, pain management procedures, and extra rotations in head and neck and interventional neuroradiology. Your responsibilities increase progressively throughout the year and are consistent with your level of training.
