A neuroradiologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the brain, spine, and nervous system. Neuroradiologists must complete four years of medical school, followed by five to seven years of residency training in radiology. After residency, neuroradiologists complete a fellowship in neuroradiology, which is a one- to two-year program that provides additional training in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders centered around imaging. 

Neuroradiologists perform a variety of duties, including:

• Reading and interpreting medical imaging studies, such as CT scans, MRI scans, and X-rays

• Diagnosing and treating diseases of the brain, spine, and nervous system

• Collaborating with other healthcare professionals, such as neurologists, neurosurgeons, and primary care physicians

• Teaching and mentoring medical students and residents

• Conducting research on neuroradiology disorders

Neuroradiologists play a key role in developing treatment plans for patients with disorders of the nervous system. They work closely with neurologists and neurosurgeons to diagnose these disorders using medical imaging techniques and develop treatment plans based on their findings.
