Michael T. Mantello, MD

As a neuroradiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing precise and insightful interpretations of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and spine. My fascination with maps as a youth—identifying routes and understanding connections—naturally evolved into a passion for neuroradiology. I view MRI studies as medical maps, connecting anatomical structures and identifying disruptions, which allows me to make definitive diagnoses that guide patient care.

With 30 years of experience in the field, I specialize in interpreting complex brain and spine MRIs. My extensive training and continuous engagement with technological advances in imaging have significantly enhanced the precision and effectiveness of my work. These advancements benefit both patients and radiologists, ensuring accurate diagnoses and better patient outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have embraced the collaborative nature of radiology. Accurate interpretation of studies relies heavily on valuable patient information from clinicians and consultations with fellow radiologists. Quality imaging is a result of teamwork among physicians, technologists, IT specialists, and administrative staff. This collaborative effort is one of the most rewarding aspects of my profession and has been a primary focus of my administrative responsibilities.

I pursued my medical degree with a focus on radiology, driven by the potential to connect anatomical pathways and provide definitive diagnoses. At NYU Langone, I am part of a dedicated team delivering coordinated and comprehensive care, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients.
