Intracranial embolizationSome brain conditions can now be treated using tiny tubes called catheters, threaded from an artery in the groin all the way to the brain.
Carotid angioplasty and stentingCarotid stenting is a relatively new procedure done from the inside of the carotid artery.
Treatment of vertebral compression fractureVertebral compression fractures (VCF) occur with an incidence of 700,000 annually. While most cases are caused by osteoporosis, tumors of the vertebral column can also cause these fractures.
Spinal pain managementBack pain affects a large number of people and can at times be difficult to manage. In certain cases, minimally invasive image guided techniques can be utilized to treat back pain.
Treatment of stroke and interventional stroke preventionStroke is the leading cause of disability in the United States. Once a stroke occurs time is of the essence, as brain cells begin to die by 2 minutes.
Image guided computerized brain surgeryThis relatively new technology allows virtual brain surgery on a computerized workstation prior to actual brain surgery.
Stereotactic radiosurgeryThis program offers bloodless surgery to the brain. It entails focused radiation beams (either X-rays or gamma-rays) precisely delivered to the desired brain area with minimal scatter to the surrounding normal brain.
Complex spine surgeryThe indications for complex spinal surgery are very specific and usually saved for the difficult cases when home exercise programs, physical therapy, pain management, and simple surgical decompression do not provide the expected relief of symptoms.
Neuro-OncologyOur neuro-oncology team is derived from experts in neurology, general oncology, neurosurgery, head and neck surgery, neuroradiology, neuropathology and radiotherapay.
Cerebral AngiographyWhile recent technological advances have resulted in the proliferation of non-invasive vascular imaging, digital subtraction angiography remains the gold standard for the detection of cerebrovascular disease and pre-procedural planning.
