Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
Art Rastinehad, D.O. is currently an Associate Professor of Radiology; Associate Professor of Urology and the Director of Focal Therapy and Interventional Urologic Oncology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai. Dr. Rastinehad trained at the National Cancer Institute as an Interventional Urologic Oncologist and is the first urologist to be dual fellowship-trained in Urologic Oncology and Interventional Radiology.
After his NIH fellowship, Dr. Rastinehad returned to NSLIJ start the first hybrid Interventional Urology Program and validate the seminal work from the NIH with respect to prostate imaging and MR/US fusion guided prostate biopsies. In 2012, Dr Rastinehad was the first extramural site focused on EM tracked MR/US fusion guided prostate biopsy technology in the United States outside the NIH. This new clinical approach is helping to lay the foundation for the evaluation of Focal Therapy, which only treats the diseased portion of the prostate. As of May 2016, Dr. Rastinehad was the first in the world to perform a gold nano-particle directed ablation for localized prostate cancer. This was performed using a novel transperineal EM tracked MR US fusion biopsy system that was developed by Dr. Rastinehad and Drs. Pinto, Wood and Choyke from the NIH.
This past year, Dr. Rastinehad announced the world’s first joint fellowship in ‘Interventional Urology’ at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Continuing his goal to help bring these new treatments and approaches to the urologic community, he is developing the first Interventional Urology mobile platform combining image fusion, cone-beam CT/fluoroscopy, optical/EM tracking along with ESWL, ultrasound and the newest advances in radiation safety; this will provide a platform for urologists to leverage these technologies and perform interventional treatments in their own operating rooms.
