Renata La Rocca Vieira, MD

As a radiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing the highest quality patient care. My journey from Brazil to New York City has been fueled by a passion for radiology and a commitment to excellence. I believe hard work and motivation can help you achieve your dreams, and I strive to embody this philosophy in my daily practice. My role allows me to combine my love for anatomy with my dedication to patient–provider care, ensuring that each imaging study is approached with the utmost care and precision.

I specialize in musculoskeletal radiology, with a particular focus on sports-related injuries. My fascination with the coordination between muscles, bones, and joints began during medical school and has only deepened over the years. With extensive training and experience, I am well-equipped to diagnose and manage a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. My credentials include being the director of musculoskeletal radiology education and the residency education representative in musculoskeletal radiology at NYU Langone, where I have been recognized for my contributions to teaching and patient care.

Throughout my career, I have been committed to proactive healthcare engagement and continuous learning. My work involves collaborating with orthopedists, oncologists, and rheumatologists, ensuring comprehensive and coordinated care for my patients. I am proud to be part of NYU Langone, where cutting-edge technology and advanced research are integral to our practice.

My journey into radiology was inspired by my interest in the musculoskeletal system and the desire to make a difference in patients' lives. I am honored to have been named Teacher of the Year by the radiology residents in 2023, a testament to my dedication to education and mentorship. My educational background and passion for teaching drive me to continually improve and innovate in the field of radiology, always with the goal of providing the best possible care for my patients.
