neuroradiologist
Brain scan specialist
A neuroradiologist is a physician who specializes in imaging the brain, spine, and nervous system.
They interpret MRIs, CT scans, and angiograms to diagnose strokes, tumors, aneurysms, and other neurological conditions.
Some perform interventional procedures—threading catheters through blood vessels to treat problems directly: The neuroradiologist removed the clot that caused her stroke.
