Trisha Y. Youn, MD

As a nuclear medicine specialist at NYU Langone, I am passionate about providing care that emphasizes wellness and proactive health management. My approach to medicine is rooted in the belief that patients deserve personalized, compassionate care that addresses their unique needs and concerns.

I specialize in diagnosing and treating a variety of conditions using advanced molecular imaging techniques, including positron emission tomography/computed tomography. My expertise includes diagnosing myocardial sarcoidosis, prostate cancer, neuroendocrine tumors, and breast cancer. Additionally, I offer targeted treatments for prostate and thyroid cancers using radiotracers. With years of experience in the field, my credentials and extensive training ensure that my patients receive the highest standard of care.

Throughout my career, I have focused on innovative diagnostic and treatment methods that enhance patient outcomes. My research in molecular imaging of cardiac disease and inflammatory breast cancer has contributed to the development of more precise and effective diagnostic tools. I am dedicated to staying at the forefront of medical advances to provide my patients with the best possible care.

My journey into medicine was inspired by a deep-seated desire to make a meaningful impact on people's lives. I was drawn to the field of molecular imaging and targeted treatment because of its potential to revolutionize the way we diagnose and treat complex diseases. My education and training have equipped me with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in this specialty, and I am proud to be part of the NYU Langone team, where I collaborate with a diverse group of experts to ensure comprehensive and coordinated care for my patients.
