The course promotes the knowledge of most important clinical features of Central and Peripheral Nervous Syste, in order to perform neuroradiological examinations in a pertinent mode to disease's features.
Main clinical features, with relative important radiological features, are listed for ischemic, haemorrhagic, infectious and neoplastic diseases.
Main congenital malformations are discussed, with particular regard to the study techniques, in order to reach a correct identification.
