Since 2008, the fellowship-trained neuroradiology members of our overnight coverage division have provided 24/7 emergency department coverage for neuro MR and CT, meaning that final interpretations are generated immediately by attending radiologists—the first known service of its kind in academic radiology.
The division has an extremely active and funded research program. Current projects include imaging of athletes with concussion syndromes, a study evaluating spinal cord injury patients using newer imaging technologies (DTI) and computerized post-processing, imaging of facial reconstructive surgery,and a series of studies on PET/CT in head and neck oncology.
Neuroradiologists at UPMC are an integral part of the diagnostic and therapeutic teams in several of the nationally ranked departments within the health system, including orthopaedics, radiation oncology, medical oncology, otolaryngology, neurosurgery and neurology. The division is based at UPMC Presbyterian, and faculty also serve the patients at UPMC Shadyside and UPMC Mercy Hospitals.
