Faculty

The University of 麻豆传媒高清 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, 3-4 radiology residents rotate through the section each month. The neuroradiology section at Children’s Hospital consists of 5 fellowship trained pediatric neuroradiologists. All faculty at UCH and Children’s Hospital have varying clinical and research interests in neuroimaging, assuring a broad array of experiences and expertise.

Clinical Training

UCH is the only academic hospital in the state, a level 1 trauma center, an AHA certified comprehensive stroke center, and consistently ranked the and one of the best in the nation. Children’s Hospital 麻豆传媒高清 is consistently ranked among the 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.

Research & Academic Time

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, 2-3 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.

Hospital Equipment & Facilities

University of 麻豆传媒高清 Hospital is the region’s only academic hospital system and is located on the Anschutz Medical Campus. It is comprised of two dedicated inpatient pavilions, as well as dedicated Outpatient and Cancer Center pavilions. The UCH radiology department utilizes an integrated digital PACS system with voice recognition and hospital wide electronic medical record. Each of these systems is accessible remotely from home to allow for maximum flexibility when on call.

Current imaging equipment utilized by neuroradiology at UCH includes seven CT scanners (2 Siemens – Definition Flash 128 channel scanners, 1 Siemens - Somatom Sensation 64 channel scanner, and 4 Phillips – Brilliance 64 channel scanners. There are eight state of the art MRI machines (3 GE 3T Magnets including a dedicated intraoperative MRI, 2 Phillips Magnets – 1.5T & 3.0T, and 3 Siemens Magnets -1.5T & 3T including a dedicated 3T Research magnet. A dedicated biplane angiography suite and single plane fluoroscopic suite are utilized for fluoroscopically guided procedures.

Children’s Hospital 麻豆传媒高清 is a dedicated pediatric hospital located on the Anschutz Medical Campus adjacent to University of 麻豆传媒高清 Hospital and the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center. Current imaging equipment includes 8 MRI scanners (Philips Ingenia 1.5T & 3T) and 5 CT scanners.
