Dr. Tali Jonas-Kimchi

Dr. Tali Jonas-Kimchi is a unique neuroradiologist, a top-class specialist in diagnosing pathology of the brain vessels, tumors, vascular malformations and aneurysms. In her work she uses ultramodern radiological diagnostic technologies, which allow high results even in the most complex and unpredictable cases.

In 1988 Tali Jonas-Kimchi entered the Faculty of Medicine of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In 1993 the young doctor was included in a student exchange program and for two years trained in neurology and neurosurgery at the central municipal hospital in Boston, USA, then returned to Israel. In 1995–1996 she worked as a clinical resident in the neurology department of Israel's largest medical center, Sourasky. In 1996 she entered postgraduate study in diagnostic neuroradiology and until 2001 trained in the radiology department of Chaim Sheba Medical Center.

From 2004 to 2006 she improved in neuroradiological diagnostics at the university clinic in Toronto, Canada, and received her specialization in neurovascular diseases at Bicêtre Medical Center in Paris. In 2006 she obtained the highest professional qualification in invasive neuroradiology. Today Dr. Jonas-Kimchi heads the radiology department at Ichilov (Sourasky) Hospital.

Today Dr. Tali Jonas-Kimchi is an extremely sought-after physician with an extensive clinical practice and advanced scientific interests. She heads the radiology department of the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center and, besides treatment and consulting work, teaches a neuroradiology course to medical students at Tel Aviv University and conducts research in neuroangiosurgery aimed at improving minimally invasive methods of treating CNS vascular pathology. She is a member of the European and Israeli societies of minimally invasive neurovascular surgery and the World Federation of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology, regularly speaks on current topics of vascular neurosurgery, and has written more than 15 scientific papers published in prestigious medical journals worldwide.

Dr. Tali Jonas-Kimchi is competent in a broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and technologies, in particular:

• imaging of the central nervous system, including the head, neck and spinal cord;
• neuroangiography with contrast to verify the diagnosis in vascular malformations and brain aneurysms;
• diagnosis of brain tumors of different origin;
• treatment of neurovascular pathology by endovascular embolization, stenting, bypass of brain vessels, etc.;
• expert assessment and remote consultation on submitted MRI discs.

In her daily work Dr. Jonas-Kimchi uses modern methods of minimally invasive neurosurgery, endovascular microsurgery and neuroradiology. She is one of two women physicians in Israel (among only 10 doctors in the country) who master the technique of catheterization of brain vessels in acute circulatory disorders. She treats both outpatients and hospitalized patients.
