2025 AIRP Neuroradiology Categorical Course: VIRTUAL - 8/4 - 8/7/25

Course Overview

Join us for the Neuroradiology Categorical Course and gain an in-depth, expert-led review of neuroradiology essentials. This course covers everything from advanced spine imaging to head and neck diagnostics, equipping you with the latest insights and practical skills. Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your knowledge and elevate your practice.

Course material includes congenital disease, trauma, stroke and vascular imaging; neoplasms of the brain; and neck, orbit and spine central nervous system (CNS) infections, with a systematic pattern approach to differential diagnosis.

Instruction will be provided by nationally and internationally recognized faculty who will emphasize radiologic-pathologic correlation to enhance your understanding of neuroradiology imaging.

Access course materials

At the conclusion of this course, you will be able to:

 

  • Recognize the most common neurologic lesions.
  • Describe the best imaging modality for a variety of neurologic lesions.
  • Identify the tools and strategies that can be implemented to facilitate radiology-pathology communication and correlation.
