Elizabeth S. Lustrin, MD

As a neuroradiologist at NYU Langone, I am deeply committed to providing compassionate and comprehensive care. From a young age, I was inspired by my medical family and the satisfaction that comes from helping those in need. This early exposure, coupled with my passion for neuroanatomy and the workings of the brain, naturally led me to specialize in neuroradiology. I find immense fulfillment in being able to look inside the brain and spine, incorporating neuroanatomy, physiology, and advances in technology to diagnose disease and play a crucial role in patient care.

I specialize in utilizing advanced imaging techniques to diagnose and manage conditions affecting the brain and spine. With over a decade of experience, I have honed my skills in both hospital and outpatient settings. I completed a two-year fellowship in neuroradiology at Massachusetts General Hospital, which provided me with extensive training and expertise in this field. Since joining NYU Langone in 2015, I have become the section head of neuroradiology for the community division of radiology, overseeing all hospital and outpatient neuroradiology imaging.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various capacities, blending my experience in academia, leadership, and clinical practice. My role at NYU Langone allows me to collaborate closely with my counterparts in New York City to ensure the excellence of our neuroradiology division.

My journey into medicine was driven by a desire to help people and a fascination with the brain’s complexities. I pursued a major in biology and psychology, which solidified my interest in neuroanatomy. My early experiences as a hospital volunteer exposed me to different facets of medicine and reinforced my commitment to the doctor–patient relationship. As a member of the NYU Langone faculty, I am dedicated to mentoring colleagues, advancing the neuroradiology section’s academic and clinical development, and promoting business growth. I look forward to continuing my work in providing the highest level of patient care.
