Neuroradiology

The Neuroradiology Fellowship Program is a two-year program accredited by the Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Canada.

The Neuroradiology Program at McGill offers a broad range of experience in imaging and interventional procedures of the nervous system in adults and children. Each resident rotates through three teaching hospitals at McGill. Each hospital offers a wide spectrum of clinical studies in addition to exposure to subspecialties such as epilepsy, neuro-oncology, trauma, ophthalmology, and head and neck. Training in angiography and interventional procedures is done at the Montreal Neurological Hospital where a large number of angiographic procedures and investigation and treatment of vascular malformations are performed. At the Montreal General Hospital where there is recognized expertise in the fields of trauma, neuro-oncology, and vascular disease, ample exposure to MRI, CT, and doppler studies is achieved. The fellowship program also includes a 4-month rotation at the Montreal Children's Hospital where exposure to all aspects of pediatric neuroradiology is provided. Finally, there is a one-month rotation in neuropathology and a 2-month elective period in basic research, spectroscopy, PET or clinical sciences.

At each hospital, there is a close relationship between the neuroradiology section and the clinical neuroscience divisions. The resident thus participates in the academic activities of both the neuroradiology section and the clinical departments. This integration is an essential part of the training program.
