Biography edit
Education edit
Drayer earned an A.B. in political science from the University of Pennsylvania in 1967. He earned his medical degree from Chicago Medical School in 1971 and completed residencies in neurology at the University of Vermont College of Medicine and in diagnostic radiology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He completed a fellowship in neuroradiology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in 1978. He is board certified in radiology, neuroradiology, and neurology.[7][8][6]
Professional appointments edit
From 1978 to 1979, Drayer was director of Neuroradiology at the University of Pittsburgh Children's Hospital. Until 1984 he served as chief of neuroradiology at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, then, until 1986, director of neuroimaging. Drayer then joined the St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona, where, until 1995, he served as radiologist-in-chief and director of magnetic resonance imaging and research at the Barrow Neurological Institute. In 1995 he joined Mount Sinai Hospital as director of radiology.[9] He is currently Professor and chair at the Department of Radiology at Mount Sinai. From 2003 to 2008, Drayer served as president of Mount Sinai Hospital and executive vice president for hospital and clinical affairs for The Mount Sinai Medical Center. He continues as executive vice president for risk. In 2011 he was elected as chair of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Research & Education (R&E) Foundation Board of Trustees.[4] In November 2014, Drayer was named president of Mount Sinai Hospital and executive vice president for hospital and clinical affairs of Mount Sinai Medical Center.
Research edit
Drayer's research focus includes Parkinson's disease, aging, neurodegenerative disease, Alzheimer's disease, cerebral infarction, vascular malformation advanced CT and MRI techniques for the diagnosis of brain neoplasm.[4] He is known for brain iron, neurodegeneration, MR angiographyn, brain infarction, Xenon CT regional cerebral blood flow, atomic, physiologic and functional imaging of the aging brain, and the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in patients with acute neurological conditions.[10][11]
Journals edit
Drayer has served as a reviewer for the American Journal of Neuroradiology, The New England Journal of Medicine, Radiology, the Journal of Computerized Tomography, Neurosurgery, Annals of Neurology, Stroke, Neurology, and the Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. He serves on the editorial advisory boards of US Radiology. Drayer is past president of The American Society of Neuroradiology. He also was president (1995–2001) and founding member of the Neuroradiology Education and Research Foundation of the American Society of Neuroradiology. He served on the board of directors of the Radiological Society of North America since 2003 and was president of the board in 2011. He currently[when?] chairs the Radiological Society of North America Research and Education Foundation.
