The Colorado Neurological Institute (CNI)
is a nonprofit corporation formed through a close association with
Swedish Medical Center to develop multidisciplinary comprehensive
programs for all neurological diseases. To this end, the Colorado
Neurological Institute now consists of a critical mass of physicians
and neuroscientists who provide programs for epilepsy, movement
disorders, neurobehavioral trauma, neuromuscular diseases, sleep
disorders and central nervous system tumors (neuro-oncology).
Dr. Arenson is Director
of Neuro-oncology and Medical
Director of CNI’s
Center for Brain & Spinal Tumors and which offers an
aggressive, multi-disciplinary and integrated team approach to the
treatment of brain and CNS tumors.
As a result of its relationship with the Colorado Neurological
Institute, Swedish Medical Center has developed technology and expertise
necessary to support these programs. Important examples are neuroimaging,
which provides such unique capabilities as MRI spectroscopy, functional
MRI analysis and world-renowned interventional neuroradiology.
 Swedish
Hospital also provides its neurosurgeons with the most modern equipment
to assist them in achieving the highest degree of resection (removal)
of central nervous system tumors, based on the fact that patients
who achieve complete or near-complete removal of their tumors have
the greatest chance for survival.
Since Dr. Arenson’s office is located on the campus
of both Swedish Medical Center and the Colorado Neurological Institute,
his patients have immediate access to everything these two entities
provide.
