Neurointerventional Radiology
Neurointerventional radiology uses minimally invasive technologies to treat vascular conditions involving the central nervous system – the brain, spinal cord, head and neck. Radiologists in the UCSF Neurointerventional Radiology Clinic work with specialists in head and neck surgery, neurology, neurosurgery and radiation oncology. Some of the conditions treated include aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations and stroke, as well as fractured vertebrae.
Images and Reports
A radiologist will review your images and write a report. When it’s finalized, the report will be available in MyChart, UCSF's secure online patient portal. You can also obtain copies of your medical images and reports by requesting them from the UCSF Imaging Library.
If you have questions about your results, please contact your referring doctor.
