• Advanced imaging. Working with the Department of Radiology, the neurologic oncology team uses advanced imaging technology for diagnosis including high-field MRI, MR angiography, MRI spectroscopy, diffusion with MRI, CT scanners with CT angiography and bloodflow, SPECT, and PET scans.
• Advanced techniques. Stony Brook's neurosurgeons use advanced techniques and equipment such as image-guided neuronavigation, microsurgery, interoperative ultrasound, and awake craniotomy with cortical mapping for surgery near sensitive areas of the brain. They also use minimally invasive techniques such as neuroendoscopy; endovascular neurosurgery (which provides preoperative oembolization), intra-arterial delivery of chemotherapy, and intraoperative angiotherapy; minimal-access spinal surgery; and stereotactic radiosurgery.

Our exceptional clinical support services contribute to coordinated care. These include Nutrition Services, Pain Management, Palliative Care/Survivorship & Support, Pharmacy Services, Physical and Occupational Rehabilitation, Therapeutic Yoga, and our Tumor Board.

Stony Brook participates in a broad range of cancer clinical trials and basic research. For information, see Innovations & Research in Cancer. For specific clinical trial listings, see our Current Clinical Trials.

The Department recently began using new technologies for the treatment of complex cerebrovascular lesions. David Fiorella, MD, who performed the first three transluminal angioplasty and stenting procedures for intracranial atherosclerosis in North America with the Wingspan® Stent System, has continued this work at SBUMC.

Dr. Fiorella's primary clinical interests parallel his research, namely treatment of cerebral aneurysms, intracranial atherosclerosis and stroke. In particular, Dr. Fiorella is one of the most experienced in the world in using the Pipeline Embolization Device™ for reconstruction of complex, and in some cases, otherwise untreatable, cerebral aneurysms.
