Penn Radiology’s Neuro, Head and Neck Imaging
An expert faculty from Penn Radiology and other nationally renowned academic institutions present a multi-modality approach for the assessment and treatment of diseases of the head and neck, brain, spine, and blood vessels from the aortic arch through the Circle of Willis.
Topics: Use of nuclear imaging, MR, CT and ultrasound to treat diseases of head, neck, brain, spine and blood vessels, cutting edge technology, dose reduction, dual energy and patients with implantable devices.
