The Division of Neuroradiology has nine faculty with a variety of special interests and strengths to include ENT, pediatric, stroke and spine imaging. Though Interventional Neuroradiology functions as a separate sub-division, the diagnostic division also performs head and neck biopsies, spine procedures, myelograms and diagnostic angiography. The division provides expertise in neurologic imaging for Emory University Hospital, The Emory Clinic, Grady Memorial Hospital, Egleston Children's Hospital and Executive Park.
