Dr. Andrew Rosenkrantz is a Professor of Radiology and Urology and Director of Prostate Imaging at the NYU School of Medicine, NYU Langone Medical Center (NYULMC). He completed medical school at Albany Medical College, residency in Diagnostic Radiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center, and fellowship in Body MRI at NYULMC. His primary clinical research interest is the role of MRI in prostate cancer detection and characterization. As part of a multi-disciplinary team, he has researched numerous aspects of the optimization and validation of the acquisition, post-processing, and interpretation of prostate MRI. This research has resulted in over 75 peer-reviewed publications on the topic as well as research awards from the Society of Abdominal Radiology and Society of Computed Body Tomography & Magnetic Resonance. Since 2015, he has served as Co-Chair of the Society of Abdominal Radiology’s Prostate Cancer Disease-Focused Panel; in this role, he led a collaborative expert panel between that society and the American Urological Association to develop a joint consensus statement regarding the role of prostate MRI in the repeat biopsy setting. He also edited a state-of-the-art textbook on the topic (Prostate MRI: A Practical Approach), published by Thieme Medical Publishers in 2016. In addition, he has given over 20 invited lectures on prostate MRI, as well as participated in numerous society-sponsored hands-on prostate MRI educational symposia. Finally, he recently served as the lead investigator of a multi-center trial addressing the reproducibility of PI-RADS version 2 among expert radiologists, and previously as the lead investigator of a grant from the Department of Defense investigating prostate MRI at 7T.
