title: Optimizing the latest neuroradiology tools. New techniques are particularly useful in stroke management.
abstract: In the past several years, advances in central nervous system imaging and interventional techniques have directly and dramatically improved healthcare. In this article, Drs Naul and Santiago discuss developments in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and interventional neuroradiology. In addition, the role of these techniques in the management of strokes is highlighted.
