question about neuroradiology subspecialty

[derisivewords]

Hi,

In pursuing a subspecialty in neuroradiology (interventional or otherwise), does one usually start from a neurology or a radiology residency? Is one path more 'standard' than the other, and what are your thoughts on the training?

It seems most neuroradiologists have a radiology background.

However since you double posted on 2 different forums, I am sure you are already familiar with the road to becoming a neuroradiologist, if you followed the Radiology forum.

Neuroradiology is a subspecialty of radiology. However, interventional neuroradiology (aka endovascular neurosurgery) is becoming increasingly dominated by neurosurgeons who did an endovascular fellowship.
