Interventional Neuroradiology Two unusual names. One unusual specialty. Interventional neuroradiology (INR) or endovascular surgical neuroradiology is a specialty which has undergone fast growth in its short existence as a specialty field. Originally developed in the 1980s by radiologists and neurological surgeons, INR is possible for one reason: Dramatic advances in computer technology and state-of-the art equipment. INTERVENTIONAL NEURORADIOLOGY SERVICES American Radiology Associates is proud to offer the most
highly skilled team of Interventional Neuroradiologists in WHAT IS INTERVENTIONAL
NEURORADIOLOGY? Interventional Neuroradiology (INR) is a highly
subspecialized field of radiology that uses imaging guidance to treat
disorders of the brain, face, neck and spine with minimally invasive
techniques. The specialty of
INR, also known as endovascular surgical neuroradiology or
neurointerventional surgery, is dedicated to the treatment of complex
diseases involving the blood vessels of the brain, face and spine as well as
spine tumors and certain types of spine fractures.
After graduating from medical school, INR specialists
undergo at least 7 additional years of residency and fellowship training.
Interventional neuroradiologists are experts in the performance and
interpretation of imaging studies such as X-rays, CT, MRI, ultrasound and
fluoroscopy for diagnosing problems of the central nervous system.
Furthermore, these specialists acquire unique training in the
clinical and technical aspects of treating complex disorders of the brain,
spine, head and neck.
