Neuropathology is the study of disease of nervous system tissue, usually in the form of either small surgical biopsies or whole-body autopsies. Neuropathologists are extensively trained in examining tissues of the nervous system. They examine radiologic studies along with the tissue samples to determine whether the abnormal tissue is a tumor or whether it shows evidence of a disease that mimics a tumor.
When not at the scope, Dr. Mrachek is an avid outdoorsman enjoying hunting, fishing, and the natural, quiet beauty of the countryside. He also enjoys spending time with his wife and children and trips to the family farm in western North Dakota.
