A pioneer in the field of vascular interventional radiology, Dr. Robert Min is Chairman of Radiology at Weill Cornell medical College, Radiologist-in-Chief at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, and President of Weill Cornell Imaging at NewYork-Presbyterian.

Dr. Min is developer of endovenous laser for treatment of venous insufficiency — when the leg’s veins cannot effectively return blood to the heart.  Now 12 years old, the minimally invasive technique is used by thousands of physicians around the world to treat a variety of conditions, including varicose veins.  Dr. Min also developed transcatheter duplex-guided sclerotherapy, another minimally invasive method of treating venous insufficiency.  

Dr. Min’s other areas of clinical and research interests include non-invasive treatments of tumors. He has been Principal Investigator on studies evaluating Uterine Artery Embolization for treatment of symptomatic leiyomyomata and has developed NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell into one of the nation’s leading centers offering relief for the many women who suffer from this condition.  Most recently, Dr. Min’s research focus has centered on MR Guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS). Dr. Min also has an interest in appropriate ordering and utilization of diagnostic imaging and is Co-investigator in a Medicare Imaging Demonstration project from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

Dr. Min oversees more than 100 faculty in three different areas: Weill Cornell Vascular, which offers minimally invasive treatments for venous insufficiency, uterine fibroids, and evaluation of peripheral arterial disease; Weill Cornell Imaging at NewYork-Presbyterian, which provides state-of-the-art outpatient diagnostic services at four locations on the upper eastside of Manhattan; and Weill Cornell Radiology, which provides the full spectrum of diagnostic radiology and image-guided interventions for inpatients, outpatients, and the emergency department at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
