Neuroimaging, An Issue of Neurologic Clinics

Neuroimaging, An Issue of Neurologic Clinics
(The Clinics: Internal Medicine)
by the clinics

This issue of Neurologic Clinics is devoted to the field of neuroimaging, a subspecialty
of neurology which is essential and germane to the practice of every neurologist. The
complexities of anatomic and functional neuroimaging have increased to the point that
general imaging training is now insufficient.1 This change has allowed an opportunity
for certified, well-trained neurologists to specialize in and contribute to this exciting
and evolving field. Most neurologists, and many physicians in other fields, advocate
that organ-specific imaging is increasingly necessary for optimal patient care. There
are neurologists throughout the United States providing neuroimaging expertise in private
practice, academic centers, and even within radiology departments. The United
Counsel of Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS) has recently established certification
and accreditation specifications in neuroimaging for neurologists as well as for neuroimaging
fellowships.
