Ruby J. Lien, MD

As a neuroradiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing precise and compassionate care. I view my role as a visual detective, meticulously analyzing computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the brain, spine, head, and neck to uncover the underlying causes of patients' conditions. Each scan tells a story, and I am committed to piecing together the clues to arrive at accurate diagnoses that guide treatment decisions.

I specialize in interpreting imaging results for conditions such as stroke, malignancy, infection, multiple sclerosis, and headache. With over 15 years of experience in the field, I have honed my skills in diagnosing conditions and identifying nuances that aid in determining each patient's best course of treatment. Additionally, I perform image-guided procedures such as lumbar punctures and intrathecal chemotherapy administration, further contributing to comprehensive patient care.

Throughout my career, I have emphasized the importance of proactive healthcare engagement and collaboration. At NYU Langone, I work closely with specialists in neurology, neurosurgery, oncology, otolaryngology, and orthopedic surgery. This collaborative approach allows us to integrate imaging results with patients' symptoms, medical histories, and lifestyles, ensuring personalized and effective treatment plans. I am deeply committed to fostering strong partnerships with my patients and colleagues, always striving to enhance patient outcomes through coordinated care.

My journey into medicine was inspired by a profound desire to help others. The significance of my work is never lost on me; each scan represents a person with loved ones and a unique story. I approach every case with the utmost care and compassion, grateful for the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on patients' lives.
