Abstract
Neuroradiology is a common term to describe the clinically available imaging tools used to provide diagnostic images of the brain and spine. Each of the commonly used modalities – computed tomography, magnetic resonance, ultrasound, and fluoroscopy, are discussed in this entry, as well as the history of this field in general. More details regarding each individual diagnostic imaging modality can be found in separate encyclopedia entries for each technique. The role of imaging in the diagnosis and management of the broad categories of neurological disorders (vascular, infectious, etc.) is discussed briefly. More detailed information regarding the imaging findings for each specific neurological disorder is found in the encyclopedia entry for that individual disease.
