Earlier and later imaging can show whether a lesion, hemorrhage, degenerative change, mass, or vascular abnormality was already present, appeared during an interval, progressed, resolved, or remained stable. Comparisons should account for differences in imaging modality, protocol, contrast use, slice thickness, image quality, and the time between examinations. Interval change can help establish chronology, but it does not necessarily identify the precise cause or exact date when an abnormality developed.
CT and MRI provide different types of information and often complement one another. CT is particularly useful for rapid assessment of acute intracranial hemorrhage, fractures, and other urgent abnormalities, while MRI provides detailed characterization of brain and spinal-cord tissue and can be especially informative for many ischemic, inflammatory, infectious, neoplastic, demyelinating, and degenerative conditions. The appropriate examination depends on the clinical question, timing, anatomy, patient factors, and information already available rather than one modality being universally superior.
CT angiography, MR angiography, and catheter cerebral angiography can depict the cerebral and cervical blood vessels and may identify occlusion, stenosis, aneurysm, dissection, arteriovenous malformation, or other vascular abnormalities. Each technique has different strengths, limitations, risks, and clinical uses, and catheter angiography can provide particularly detailed vascular information while also allowing certain endovascular treatments to be performed. Vascular studies should be interpreted with symptom timing, brain imaging, neurological findings, treatment records, and the subsequent clinical course.
A retrospective review may identify a finding or alternative interpretation that was not described in the original report, but the later assessment should account for the circumstances under which the earlier examination was interpreted. Relevant factors include image quality, imaging protocol, clinical history provided at the time, prior studies then available, and the original conspicuity of the finding. Knowledge of a later diagnosis or outcome can make an abnormality appear more apparent in retrospect, so retrospective visibility alone does not establish what should reasonably have been concluded from the original study.

Diagnostic neuroradiology focuses on interpreting imaging of the brain, spine, head and neck, and related nervous-system structures using modalities such as CT, MRI, and vascular imaging. Interventional neuroradiology, also commonly described within the broader field of neurointerventional or neuroendovascular surgery, uses image-guided catheter-based techniques to diagnose and treat selected cerebrovascular and neurological conditions. Procedures may include mechanical thrombectomy, embolization of vascular malformations, and endovascular treatment of aneurysms, and physicians may enter the field through radiology, neurosurgery, or neurology training pathways depending on their qualifications and practice setting.
