Neuroradiology
Our mission is to provide the highest-quality patient care and improve the well-being of our patients through excellence in education, community service, research and technology, and leadership activities locally, nationally and internationally.
The University of Michigan Division of Neuroradiology is under the direction of Suresh K. Mukherji, M.D., F.A.C.R. and consists of 18 neuroradiologists. The division is responsible for all neuroimaging performed at the main University Hospital, Mott Children's Hospital and the Ann Arbor Veteran's Administration Hospital. In Fiscal Year 2010, we performed more than 28,000 CTs, 26,000 MRIs, and 1,700 neuroangiography and spine procedures. The faculty is a mix of senior, mid-level and junior members. Our team has published well over 700 peer-reviewed papers, 100 non-peered reviewed papers (not including book chapters), and 13 books. The faculty have presented more than 650 abstracts and 200 scientific exhibits, and have given more than 550 invited lectures. The division's expertise is integrated with faculty who have special expertise in interventional neuroradiology, head and neck radiology, spine imaging, epilepsy, and advanced metabolic imaging techniques in both MR and CT.
The division has access to state-of-the-art equipment in all modalities. There are 10 MRI units (8 clinical, 2 research) of which three are 3T units. A total of 18 CT scanners are housed in our health care system. This includes nine 64-slice MDCT scanners and three other MDCT machines. Diagnostic neuroangiography is performed by faculty members of the Neuroradiology and Neurointerventional divisions. We recently expanded our neuroangiographic capabilities to a 4,500-square-foot neuroangiography suite, which includes a combined CT-biplane neuroangiography unit, Axiom Artis and a multipurpose room for interventional spine procedures.
We collaborate very closely with the department of Neurosurgery, Neurology, Otolaryngology, and Radiation Oncology; many of our faculty have joint appointments in these divisions. This provides a stimulating collegial atmosphere with more than 20 multidisciplinary conferences per week. These conferences include teaching conferences, tumor boards and clinical working conferences.
The division has an ACGME-accredited Neuroradiology fellowship program and is accredited for five fellows per year.
