Neuroradiology: Key Differential Diagnoses and Clinical Questions

Juan E. Small, MD is the Section Chief of the Neuroradiology Division and the Director of Neuroimaging Education at Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington, Massachusetts. He is the lead author of Neuroradiology: Key Differential Diagnoses and Clinical Questions. Dr. Small joined Lahey in 2009 after completing his medical degree at Harvard Medical School in Boston; a Master's in Neuroscience at the University of Oxford; a radiology residency at Brigham and Women's Hospital; and a neuroradiology fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Dr. Small is board certified in diagnostic radiology and neuroradiology. Dr. Pamela Schaefer is an associate radiologist and associate director in the Division of Neuroradiology, clinical director of MRI services in the Department of Radiology and program director of the Neuroradiology Fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital. Asha Sarma, MD, is a honors graduate of Dartmouth College and earned her medical degree at the University of Utah. She completed a residency in Diagnostic Radiology at Brigham and Women's Hospital, during which she served as chief resident and received a resident teaching award, and fellowships in Pediatric Radiology and Pediatric Neuroradiology at Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School. Dr. Sarma joined the Vanderbilt faculty in 2018. Paul M. Bunch, MD, is an Associate Professor of Radiology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Before joining Wake Forest, Dr. Bunch completed his radiology residency at Brigham and Women's Hospital and his neuroradiology fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital. His primary clinical and research interests relate to head and neck imaging, including head and neck cancer, primary hyperparathyroidism, head and neck anatomy, and dual-energy CT. Dr. Bunch serves on the Editorial Board of RadioGraphics and is also actively involved with the American College of Radiology, the American Society of Neuroradiology, and the American Society of Head and Neck Radiology.
