Greetings, and welcome to MD News Long Island. Patients who have brain tumors or chronic neurologic conditions and who live outside large metropolitan areas face a stark choice: Undertake the burden of significant travel to reach major academic medical centers or settle for less advanced care near home. The cranial neurosurgery program at White Plains Hospital resolves that dilemma. The expanded program offers multidisciplinary evaluation and treatment by fellowship-trained surgeons, providing patients local access to leading-edge care. That is the subject of our cover feature. Our special clinical section about radiology highlights scientists who see more evidence of the integral role screening mammography continues to play in saving the lives of breast cancer patients. We also review a new imaging technique that could improve screening for cardiovascular risk and stroke. We round up other news regarding radiology as well.
