Dr. Wasserman is an Associate Professor of Radiology and the Director of Diagnostic Neurovascular Imaging at the Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Dr. Wasserman earned his B.S. degree in biomedical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Following this he studied medicine at the University of Rochester School of Medicine, where he stayed to complete an internship in internal medicine at Strong Memorial Hospital. He spent one year working on advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques for vascular imaging at Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals of Cleveland. During this time he became increasingly interested in using MRI to learn more about the morphology of atheroma. After completing a residency in radiology at Mount Auburn Hospital in Harvard Medical School, Dr. Wasserman spent 2 years in a neuroradiology fellowship at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and remained on faculty following the completion of his fellowship.

Dr. Wasserman has focused much of his work on using MRI to evaluate the carotid artery in order to prevent stroke. Many of his publications have focused on understanding the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis through MR imaging. He is also actively involved in the Multiethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, a multicenter trial exploring the progression of subclinical atherosclerotic disease, in addition to several other multicenter studies of carotid atherosclerosis. Although Dr. Wasserman’s clinical work spans all areas of neuroradiology, he is frequently consulted for his work on the spine in both research and clinical settings.
