Abstract
During the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) pandemic, neuroradiology practices have experienced a paradigm shift in practice, which affected everything from staffing, workflow, work volumes, conferences, resident and fellowship education, and research. This article highlights adaptive strategies that were undertaken at the epicenter of the outbreak in New York City during the past 4-6 weeks, as experienced by 5 large neuroradiology academic departments.
Highlights
ABBREVIATIONS: ICU 1⁄4 intensive care unit; IT 1⁄4 information technology; NYC 1⁄4 New York City; PPE 1⁄4 personal protective equipment; PHI 1⁄4 protected health informatio
Clinical Practice: Staffing As cases of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) first appeared and exponentially increased in the NYC metro area, it became clear to the population and to government figures that social distancing was required to “flatten the curve.”
Academic neuroradiology practices began to limit the number of staff in reading rooms, and as the severity of the pandemic became clearer, many staff members were quickly transitioned to work from home

ABBREVIATIONS: ICU 1⁄4 intensive care unit; IT 1⁄4 information technology; NYC 1⁄4 New York City; PPE 1⁄4 personal protective equipment; PHI 1⁄4 protected health informatio. Clinical Practice: Staffing As cases of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) first appeared and exponentially increased in the NYC metro area, it became clear to the population and to government figures that social distancing was required to “flatten the curve.” Academic neuroradiology practices began to limit the number of staff in reading rooms, and as the severity of the pandemic became clearer, many staff members were quickly transitioned to work from home. This required quick acquisition of many elements of support; hospital and departmental information technology (IT) support was sought because secure data links including virtual private networks, which needed to be established, and often home network upgrades were necessary.
