Who is Dr. Bluestone, Neuroradiologist in Stony Brook, NY?
I completed my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and my Bachelor in Physics both with honors within three years at the Brooklyn College, and my MD/PhD at Downstate Medical Center. My doctoral dissertation was on Three-Dimensional Optical Tomographic Brain Imaging, which I successfully defended in 2003.
At Stony Brook, I developed a Neuroradiology Lecture Series for the Department of Radiology and the newly formed JT Mather Radiology Residency. As current director of the re-instated ACGME Neuroradiology Fellowship, my vision is not only to help build the academic foundation of the department, but to also help to establish and maintain a neuroradiology center of excellence in Long Island.
