Neuroradiology

The neuroradiology section works closely with Washington University School of Medicine departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery, and Orthopaedics.  Neuroradiology specialists use digital angiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and ultrasound, as well as plain X rays, to study the brain, head and neck, and spine in their search for neurological diseases.

Two full-time neuroradiologists are part of the pediatric radiology staff at St. Louis Children's Hospital.  These specialists use MRI and CT machines specifically designed to diagnose neurological diseases in pediatric patients.
