Comprehensive neuroradiology imaging services
Our neuroradiology team provides a wide range of imaging services designed to evaluate and monitor brain and spinal conditions with clarity and speed. With a focus on early detection and comprehensive assessment, our advanced tools support diagnosis and treatment planning for conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and surrounding structures.
Computed Tomography (CT)
Computed Tomography is a cornerstone of neurological imaging, offering fast, detailed views of the brain and vascular system. CT scans help physicians detect stroke, hemorrhage, tumors, and other urgent conditions—often within minutes.
- 64-Slice CT Scanner
Offers high-resolution images for rapid, accurate diagnosis with reduced scan times. - CT Brain Imaging
Used for assessing conditions such as stroke, tumors and traumatic brain injury. - CT Brain Perfusion
Helps evaluate blood flow to the brain, used in acute stroke care. - CTA Angiography of the Head and Neck
Non-invasive imaging of the arteries and veins to assess for aneurysms, stenosis or vascular malformations.
3D Imaging & Advanced Visualization
In neurological care, precision matters. That’s why our team uses powerful 3D imaging systems to reconstruct internal anatomy and vascular structures in vivid detail. These reconstructions provide physicians with the visual tools they need to plan effective treatment while allowing patients to see and better understand their condition.
- TeraRecon Computer-Aided Reconstruction
Our TeraRecon system creates full-color, 3D visualizations of vascular structures. These advanced images are critical in the evaluation and treatment planning of vascular diseases, providing a clearer understanding for both clinicians and patients.
Accredited Vascular Ultrasound
Non-invasive vascular ultrasound plays a critical role in the early detection of blood flow irregularities and vascular disease. Our vascular lab is fully accredited by the InterSocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories (ICAVL), which ensures the highest national standards of safety, quality and diagnostic accuracy.
- Carotid Vessel Imaging
Screens for narrowing or blockages that could increase the risk of stroke. - Arterial and Venous Assessments
Evaluates blood flow in the arms and legs to detect clots, blockages, or vascular disease. - Transcranial Doppler (TCD)
A non-invasive test to detect vasospasm (a potential complication of brain hemorrhage), helping guide timely intervention.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
MRI is one of the most powerful tools available in modern medicine for imaging the brain and central nervous system. At St. Joseph’s/Candler, our 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner offers unparalleled detail while supporting a wide range of neurological evaluations—from tumor detection to surgical planning.
- 1.5 Tesla MRI Scanner
Delivers high-definition imaging of the brain and vascular structures. - MRI of the Brain with Diffusion-Weighted Imaging
Highly sensitive to changes in water movement, often used in stroke and tumor detection. - Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA)
Visualizes both intracranial and extracranial vessels to evaluate for aneurysms and other vascular abnormalities. - Spectroscopy
A powerful tool to analyze the chemical makeup of brain tissue, helping differentiate between normal and abnormal areas. - 3D Image-Guided Surgery Capability
Allows surgeons to plan and perform procedures with precision using detailed anatomical maps.
Interventional Neuroradiology & Bi-Plane Angiography
For patients in need of minimally invasive neurological procedures, our Interventional Neuroradiology team utilizes the latest in real-time imaging and catheter-based technology. These procedures often serve as life-saving or life-altering treatments for strokes, aneurysms and vascular abnormalities of the brain and spine.
- Bi-Plane Angiography Suite
Located within our special procedures unit, this advanced imaging system enables real-time, high-definition imaging for both diagnostic and interventional neurovascular procedures. It plays a critical role in minimally invasive treatments such as cerebral angiograms, aneurysm coiling, arteriovenous malformation embolization, stroke thrombectomy and other endovascular interventions.
