This webinar will provide an introduction to cranial imaging for the advanced practice provider. Familiarity with neuroradiology imaging studies and imaging findings is of utmost importance in providing patient care. The goal of this session will be to review computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, discuss the strengths and differences of each modality for common pathologies, review indications and appropriateness criteria for imaging and how to choose the ideal study for common clinical scenarios, and review imaging features of commonly encountered intracranial pathologies.

This webinar will provide an introduction to spine imaging for the advanced practice provider. The goal of this session will be to review radiography, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the spine, discuss the strengths and differences of each modality for common pathologies, review indications and appropriateness criteria for imaging and how to choose the ideal study for common clinical scenarios, and review imaging features of commonly encountered spinal pathologies.

Seizures can be an important presenting symptom of many neurological diseases and have the potential to worsen clinical outcome. While the use of anti-epileptic medication leads to prevention of future seizures, the negative impact on neuro-cognition are well documented. This course evaluates the necessity of anti-epileptic drug (AED) use for seizure prophylaxis in patients presenting with neurosurgical diseases. Current guidelines pertaining to seizure prophylaxis are also reviewed. 0.25 CME credit available. AANS Member: Free | Non-member: $19
