Neuroimaging

Neuroimaging plays a crucial role in clinical neurology, both as a diagnostic and interventional tool.
Neuroimaging may be used to investigate brain and spinal cord disorders, through structural (e.g. CT, MRI, angiography) and functional (e.g. PET, SPECT) techniques.

As a field of knowledge, imaging of the nervous system is experiencing a tremendous expansion because of the complexity of the brain and the quick advances in imaging technology. Thus, the neurologist needs updated information on the appropriate and economical use of these tools.

The Scientific Panel on Neuroimaging is dedicated to coordinate and foster neuroimaging clinical and research practices in Europe. The main objectives of the panel are to promote knowledge of neuroimaging tools and their correct use in clinical practice and to be an active contributor of the neuroimaging research community.

Coordination and collaboration with partner societies are crucial for the objectives of the panel, and partnerships have been established through memoranda of understanding with the European Society of Neuroradiology (ESNR) and the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM).

The panel is actively involved in guidelines for many neurological diseases, providing input on the appropriate use of neuroimaging tools in the respective fields.
This Scientific Panel comprises and is open to members from all EAN member countries. Please feel free to indicate your willingness to serve on the Scientific Panel on Neuroimaging or in one of its Task Forces.
