Advances in Neuroradiology Bridging the Gap between Diagnosis and Treatment

Pooja Nair

Neuroradiology, a subfield of radiology specializing in the imaging of the central nervous system, has witnessed remarkable advancements that are revolutionizing the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. This article provides an overview of recent developments in neuroradiology, with a focus on innovative imaging techniques and emerging technologies, highlighting their significant impact on patient care. The central role of neuroradiology in modern healthcare is emphasized, as it has the potential to reshape the understanding and management of neurological conditions. The article discusses the evolution of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) with their higher resolutions and advanced applications such as functional MRI (fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). It also delves into emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and 3D printing, which are transforming the interpretation of neuroimaging and preoperative planning for complex neurosurgical procedures. Neuroradiology's clinical applications are explored, particularly in stroke management, interventional neuroradiology, and the imaging of brain tumors. These applications have led to more precise diagnoses and better treatment outcomes. However, challenges such as standardizing imaging protocols, managing large datasets, and addressing ethical concerns in AI applications are also discussed.
