The role of the Certification committee is to evaluate the candidates wanting to enter the last step, the oral examination of the European Examination in Neuroradiology, and to ensure their eligibility. Approval by the committee can earliest be sought when training is completed, all four ECNR courses have been attended and the written examinations associated with ECNR have been passed.
The Certification committee is also involved in certifying established neuroradiologists wishing to obtain the European Qualification in Neuroradiology. This is program valid for a limited period only.
