My goal as a neuroradiologist is to provide the best diagnostic imaging for patients with a variety of neurological diseases. My primary interest is in cerebrovascular disease and stroke. My roles include optimizing neurovascular imaging protocols, serving as co-moderator of our multidisciplinary neurovascular conference, and providing resident and fellow education based on the latest clinical research. Our neuroradiology section works together with neurology, neurosurgery and vascular surgery to detect and treat patients with neurovascular diseases. Our vascular imaging techniques include ultrasound, CT and MR angiography, CT and MR perfusion, and we are one of the few locations in the nation to offer dedicated vessel wall imaging. Our collaborations with the Utah Center for Advanced Imaging Research (UCAIR) allow us to bring the latest imaging innovations from bench to bedside for the best diagnosis and treatment of stroke and vascular disease.
