Patient Care 

  Patient Care

• My 50% of clinical time is split between interventional (3/5) and diagnostic (2/5)neuroradiology. Regarding interventional neuroradiology (INR), I spend one half day per week in clinic seeing new patients or following up existing patients. The remainder of my INR time is spent in the interventional laboratory performing cerebral angiograms, myelograms, endovascular interventions (coiling aneurysms, assisting in carotid stents, embolizing arteriovenous malformations, etc.) or spine interventions (vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, discograms, facet blocks, nerve root blocks, epidural injections, bone or disc biopsies). I average one day per week of diagnostic radiology, in which I interpret CT's and MRI's that assist in patient care. ( 7/2004 - 6/2006 )

• Diagnostic Neuroradiology - 1-3 days per week of diagnostic radiology, in which I interpret CT's and MRI's of the brain, head and neck, or spine. ( 7/2006 - Present )

• Interventional Neuroradiology - One half day per week in clinic seeing new patients or following up existing patients. 2-3 days/week interventional laboratory performing cerebral angiograms, myelograms, endovascular interventions (coiling aneurysms, assisting in carotid stents, embolizing arteriovenous malformations, etc.) or spine interventions (vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, discograms, facet blocks, nerve root blocks, epidural injections, bone or disc biopsies).
