Scott N. Nadel, MD

As a radiologist at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate care and understanding. My passion for radiology stems from my fascination with technology and its application to advanced imaging techniques to ensure accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans.

I specialize in cross-sectional imaging of the body, with a particular focus on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scanning. I have a background in biomedical engineering, and my medical training at Johns Hopkins Medical School and radiology training at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University equipped me to work and teach at Duke University, then Yale University Medical Centers, and private practice.

Throughout my career, I have been deeply involved in clinical practice and the application and understanding of quality principles, particularly from the patient’s perspective.  I have been a part of initiatives aimed at improving healthcare quality and value, in tangible ways, such as the Malcolm Baldrige Quality Awards in Healthcare program developed by the National Institute of Science and Technology. These experiences have reinforced my belief in the importance of patient-focused care and continuous improvement.

My journey into medicine began with a volunteer internship and then my first job at NYU Langone’s Rusk Rehabilitation, where I worked on designing resilient electronic prosthetic elbows and hands for children. This experience ignited my passion for blending medicine and technology. After completing my radiology residency, I joined the faculty at Duke University Medical Center before moving to Connecticut to be closer to family, raise children, and continue providing the highest quality clinical care in outpatient imaging centers and hospitals. In 2022, after returning to NYC, I again joined NYU Langone, where I am proud to be part of a team dedicated to providing the highest quality care and achieving the best possible outcomes.
