Imaging CNS autoimmune and inflammatory disease

This playlist is a case-based review of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions that can be seen in neuroradiology. MRI findings in the brain and spine are discussed. Common conditions are covered, including demyelinating disease, encephalitis, masslike disease like sarcoid and orbital inflammatory disease, spine inflammatory disease, amyloid, and vascular processes.

Be sure to watch them all to get the complete overview of imaging findings of common autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.

Board Review 3 – Full lecture

This lecture is a board review lecture geared towards preparation for the radiology resident ABR core exam, although similar material is used for the ABR certifying exam general and neuroradiology sections.

The format of this lecture is case-based. Each case consists of a series of images followed by 1 or 2 questions. The first question is usually to name the diagnosis, while the second is a multiple choice question to test deeper understanding of the specific condition. Try to get the diagnosis before you see the second questions.

The first 10 cases cover brain tumors and the remaining 9 cover general neuroradiology. The final case will be a high speed multiple choice review.

Intracranial infections

Intracranial infections are a common consideration in neuroradiology. Patients can present with altered mental status and may have systemic signs such as fever. The radiologist needs to know how to evaluate these findings on imaging and correlate them with systemic tests, such as lumbar puncture and echocardiogram.

This lecture is divided into 5 parts:
General considerations
Diffuse infections
Focal infection
Immunocompromised patients
Other considerations

Be sure to watch them all to get the complete overview of imaging intracranial infection.

Advanced MRI imaging of the brain

There are several advanced MRI techniques for more sophisticated imaging of brain structure and function. The most common advanced imaging techniques include spectroscopy, perfusion, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and functional MRI (fMRI). This playlist shows some of the details of using advanced imaging techniques for brain imaging and surgical planning.

This playlist includes some of the details about using advanced MRI for surgical planning and determining additional details about brain MRI.

Board Review Cases – Head and Neck

This playlist is a collection of only the head and neck imaging board review cases on this site. This includes pathologies such as head and neck cancer and skull base abnormalities.

These cases are geared towards preparation for the radiology resident ABR core exam, although similar material is used for the ABR certifying exam general and neuroradiology sections as well as neuroradiology CAQ.
