Consultation | Teleradiology | Contact Us

The Department of Neuroradiology at Johns Hopkins Medicine is often consulted by a variety of outside sources due to our proficiency and expertise. Many of the services we offer are described on this page. Please feel free to contact us for more information.

Consultation

The Neuroradiology Division of the Johns Hopkins Hospital encourages the submission of outside films for second opinion interpretation to our staff. We have noted experts in the fields of Spine, Brain, and Head and Neck imaging as well as faculty members who have had additional training in neurointerventional procedures. All members of the Division have received certificates of added qualification (CAQ) in neuroradiology from the American Board of Radiology, lending greater authority to their interpretations of studies for medicolegal purposes.


We provide consultations and second opinions to:

1) Patients
2) Radiologists
3) Other Physicians
4) Lawyers
5) Insurance companies
6) Corporate research
7) Teleradiology services
8) Free-standing facilities

We encourage the submission of studies, including:

• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, spine, neck, face, temporomandibular joints (TMJ), orbits, head, and temporal bones.

• Computed tomography scans (CT scans / CAT scans) of the brain, spine, neck, face, sinuses, temporal bones, and head.

• Myelograms of the cervical spine, thoracic spine, and lumbar spine.

• Arteriograms (angiograms) of the brain, head, spine, neck, carotid vasculature, vertebral vasculature, and face.

• Venograms of the brain, spine, neck, head, and face.

• Positron emission tomography (PET scans) of the brain, neck, face, and head.

• Nuclear medicine studies of the brain, spine, neck, face, temporomandibular joints (TMJ), orbits, head, and temporal bones.

Teleradiology

The use of the latest advances in techonology allow the faculty members of Johns Hopkins Neuroradiology to offer consultations for digital and traditional film readings -- as well as with other imaging readings -- with very quick turn-around time.

Currently, the department conducts teleradiology business with hospitals and regional centers across a broad geographical area, including:

• New York
• Bermuda
• Baltimore

Other contracts are currently in the works. If you are an administrator or director interested in conducting teleradiology business with Johns Hopkins Neuroradiology, please contact Dr. David Yousem or a member of our staff.
