Thomas P. Naidich, MD, is a professor of radiology and of neurosurgery and is the Dorothy Regenstreif Research Professor of Neuroscience (Neuroimaging) at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine (New York, NY), where he is also director of neuroradiology. He received his medical degree from the New York University (NYU) School of Medicine. After an internship at the Bronx Municipal Hospital Center, he completed a residency in diagnostic radiology at the Montefiore Hospital and Medical Center (The Bronx) and a fellowship in neuroradiology at the NYU Medical Center. He has held clinical and faculty positions at the NYU School of Medicine, Montefiore, Albert Einstein College of Medicine (The Bronx), Washington University School of Medicine (St. Louis, MO), Children’s Memorial Hospital/Northwestern University Medical School (Chicago, IL), and Baptist Hospital of Miami (FL).

Dr. Naidich is a past president of the American Society of Pediatric Neuroradiology and was the founding editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Neuroradiology. His work in pediatric neuroradiology has been recognized with numerous awards and honors. He has coauthored 5 volumes on neuroimaging and published more than 300 peer-reviewed articles and editorials. Among his recent publications are:

About Diagnostic Radiology Grand Rounds and CME Credit

Targeted audience: health care providers

Learning objectives: The participant should be able to:

(1) Understand that the anatomic surface of the brain is a continuous but pleated sheet of tissue wherein the gyri and sulci are inconstant features;

(2) Learn the general patterns into which the inconstant gyri and sulci assemble themselves on the medial lateral and inferior surfaces of the brain; and

(3) Apply that knowledge to successful identification of the individual gyri and suli in both normal and abnormal CT and MR imaging studies of the brain.

Sponsored by the University of Maryland School of Medicine
