Neuroradiologist's
Web Guide 2004 |

Contents
Academic Sites
By far, the majority of Neuroradiology and Neuroscience related Web
contributions arise from the academic centers. Nearly all the major
medical centers now have websites with at least some type of radiology
specific content. These vary greatly in the amount of resources dedicated
to Neuroradiology and the neurosciences. At the very least, most sites
contain some form of directory for contacting the department’s staff
and/or faculty members. Most sites with residency and fellowship programs
include information about theses programs for prospective applicants. More
comprehensive sites provide educational resources that may include online
teaching files, lecture or tutorial style presentations, "cases of the
week" or "month", and often information about the institution's research
activities.
In presenting the following collection of websites, we have attempted to
include all the major academic centers. The Centers have been organized
geographically by State. Brief commentary on the contents of most sites
has been included and those websites felt to be of particular interest to
the neuroradiologist are indicated by a “«” icon. A few additional
sites with little or no “Neuro-specific” content have been included for
the sake of completeness.

Radiology Organizations
What better resource could exist for the Neuroradiologist than the
ASNR Website http://www.asnr.org/? Aside from providing
official society information like officer, staff and committee
directories, the site also contains job listings, upcoming meeting
information and an educational materials section. Neuroradiology links can
be found at http://www.asnr.org/etc/neuronet.shtml. Direct links to the AJNR and the following related
organizations are also available from the main webpage.

Educational resources
Educational resources on the Net range from simple text files to
elaborate multimedia presentations. For the most part they can be
grouped into three categories. Teaching files, Texts/Tutorials and
Cases of the Week/Month. A number of websites offering teaching files
have already been mentioned in the "Academic Sites" section above.
Given the large number of educational websites available, we have
chosen not provide specific comments on each site. We have provided a
fairly comprehensive list below. Sites that are felt to be of
outstanding merit, or at least noteworthy in the amount of
Neuroradiology Content, are indicated by bold type.
Directories of Teaching Files
Specific Teaching
File Collections
Online Books/Tutorials/Lectures
etc.
Cases of the Week/Month
Conferences/Meetings Information
Directories
Online Directories/Indices
The number of Online directories and indices for Radiology resources is far
too great to include a “complete” list in this syllabus. Simply typing
the for “radiology” into one of the popular search engines such as Yahoo!
www.yahoo.com or Excite www.excite.com will yield an astounding
number of resources (e.g. using Yahoo! will get you over 360 website
matches and 19 Category Matches). Many comprehensive “Links Lists” can be
found within the Websites already mentioned in the Academic Sites section.
Below, we have listed a limited collection of sites that we feel may serve
as particularly useful starting points for websurfing radiologists.
