Ellen B. Wetter, MD

As a radiologist at NYU Langone, I am deeply committed to providing compassionate care through advanced imaging techniques to enhance patient outcomes. My role at NYU Langone for the past 20 years has primarily focused on ultrasound, a unique imaging technique that offers screening and diagnosis without the need for ionizing radiation.

I work closely with sonographers to ensure high-quality care. Additionally, as the ultrasound rotation director, I teach first-year residents basic scanning techniques, quality assessment, and interpretative skills, sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm for ultrasound with the next generation of radiologists.

My passion for medicine began during high school in Brooklyn, where an extraordinary program introduced me to medical research in a hospital environment. My educational journey continued at Cornell University followed by the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. A radiology elective during my final year of medical school solidified my passion for this field, leading me to complete a radiology residency at a University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston/MD Anderson Cancer Center combined program.

Being part of NYU Langone allows me to provide coordinated care, leveraging the resources and expertise of a leading health system. With more than 40 years of experience in radiology, I have witnessed significant advances in imaging technology, and I am optimistic about the future of this field for enhancing patient outcomes.
