The American Society of Neuroimaging (ASN)

The American Society of Neuroimaging (ASN) is an international, professional organization educating & representing neurologists, APPS, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, residents, fellows, technologist and other neuroscientists who are dedicated to the advancement of techniques used to evaluate the nervous system, since 1977!

Mission:
To provide neuroimaging, and informatics education, certification, support, and guidance to neurologists and other neuroscience clinicians, technologists, sonographers, and researchers.

Vision:
To ensure all individuals with neurological disorders have access to experts in neuroimaging and neurosonology.

The American Society of Neuroimaging (ASN) is an active member of the House of Delegates (HOD) of the American Medical Association (AMA). The HOD is the principal policy-making body of the AMA.

Goals:
The American Society of Neuroimaging (ASN) is an international, professional organization of clinicians, technologists and research scientists who are dedicated to education, advocacy and research to promote neuroimaging as crucial to the treatment and investigation of disorders of the nervous system. The ASN supports the right of qualified physicians to utilize neuroimaging modalities for the evaluation and management of their patients, and the right of patients with neurological disorders to have access to appropriate neuroimaging modalities and to physicians qualified in their use and interpretation. The ASN supports clinical and basic science research by neuroimagers through educational programs, an annual meeting and a scientific journal.

The goal of the ASN is to promote the highest standards of neuroimaging in clinical practice, thereby improving the quality of medical care for patients with diseases of the nervous system. This goal is accomplished through:
• Presenting scientific and educational programs at an annual meeting and through the promotion of fellowships, preceptorships, tutorials and seminars related to neuroimaging;
• Publishing a scientific journal;
• Formulating and promoting high standards of practice and setting training guidelines;
• Evaluation of physician competency through examinations
