Drayer to head RSNA board
Burton P. Drayer, MD, chair of the department of radiology and executive vice president for risk at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, has been elected president of the board of directors of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
“My goals for 2011 are to enhance collaboration among radiology and non-radiology societies, as well as to extend the utilization and recognition of the RSNA’s extensive technology platform,” said Drayer, adding that he hopes to "expand the role that the RSNA plays in advancing radiation safety.”
With a focus in neuroradiology, Drayer’s research interests involve using CT and MRI techniques for the diagnosis of cerebral infarction, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, vascular malformation and brain neoplasm as well as to characterize and quantitate brain iron, perfusion and barrier permeability. Drayer was editor of Neuroimaging Clinics of North America from 1991 to 2005, and has authored or co-authored nearly 200 journal articles, 41 book chapters and two books.
He is past-president of the American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR) and founding member of its Neuroradiology Education and Research Foundation.
