PURPOSE The distribution of ischemic changes caused by infarction of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) territories is usually measured using the Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS). The first interpreter of the brain computed tomography (CT) in the emergency department is the on-call radiology resident. The primary objective of this study was to describe the agreemen...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A common perception is that increased on-call workload leads to increased resident mistakes. To test this, we evaluated whether increased imaging volume has led to increased errors by residents. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review was made of all overnight neuroradiology CT exams with a primary resident read from 2006-2010. All studies were over-read by staff n...

This review recounts the history of brain tumor diagnosis from antiquity to the present and, indirectly, the history of neuroradiology. Imaging of the brain has from the beginning held an enormous interest because of the inherent difficulty of this endeavor due to the presence of the skull. Because of this, most techniques when newly developed have always been used in neuroradiology and, althou...

Saturday, May 16, 1998, was a landmark day in pediatric neuroradiology. The First International Pediatric Neuroradiology Symposium was held in Philadelphia in conjunction with the Symposium Neuroradiologicum XVI and the 36th annual meeting of the American Society of Neuroradiology. Organized by Jim Barkovich, a fascinating day unfolded for those interested in the imaging of the developing brain...

In the wake of the SAPPHIRE trial1 and subsequent approval of carotid stenting (CAS) devices by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States, CAS is poised to explode in the frequency of its application in North America. Although the results of the Carotid Revascularization Stenting versus Endarterectomy Trial (CREST), the largest randomized controlled trial comparing carotid end...

Chromosomal aberrations, and their associated syndromes of dysmorphism and malformations of multiple organ systems, have been long recognized as significant causes of severe mental impairment. With a few major exceptions, these clinical syndromes have only recently been catalogued as systematically ( 1, 2) as have been single-gene disorders. The neuropathologic features of many of these syndrom...
