Arindam Rano, Chatterjee

Dr. Chatterjee is an attending interventional neuroradiologist who specializes in treating stroke, brain aneurysms, brain arteriovenous malformations, brain and spinal dural arteriovenous fistulae, carotid artery stenosis, and congenital vascular malformations using minimally invasive, image-guided procedures and the latest technological advancements. Dr. Chatterjee is an assistant professor in the Department of Radiology at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University School of Medicine in Saint Louis. Dr. Chatterjee has been a member of the Division of Neuroradiology with joint clinical appointment by courtesy in the Departments of Neurosurgery and Neurology since 2019. Dr. Chatterjee is board certified by the American Board of Radiology with additional subspecialty certification in Neuroradiology. Dr. Chatterjee completed his undergraduate training at Columbia University in the City of New York in the combined college and engineering program with degrees in Physics and Biomedical Engineering. Dr. Chatterjee completed his medical education at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, Tennessee followed by a residency in Radiology. Residency was followed by a fellowship in neuroradiology and endovascular surgical neuroradiology at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at the Washington University School of Medicine. Following fellowship training, Dr. Chatterjee was an attending neuroradiologist at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston prior to joining the Washington University School of Medicine. Dr. Chatterjee’s research interests began as an undergraduate in astrophysics studying distant galaxy clusters and later moved on to making observations of nuclear magnetic resonance phenomenon in the spinning protons present in water. Through an undergraduate research fellowship, he was able to springboard from a basic science understanding of NMR directly to studying its use in MRI at the Brain Imaging Division at Columbia University. He worked on developing tools to measure brain neuron density using MR spectroscopy, using MR imaging to study areas of brain volume loss in patients with Schizophrenia, and developing mathematical tools for reducing noise in the interpretation of brain PET imaging studies. During medical school, Dr. Chatterjee received an NIH grant to study molecular pathways involved in brain tumor programmed cell death through the Department of Neurosurgery and subsequently used this experience to help develop a mouse model for medulloblastoma at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. In radiology residency, Dr. Chatterjee’s research focus shifted to the clinical continuum of research with studies of the diagnostic accuracy of CT angiography and MR diffusion tensor imaging to evaluate cranial nerve integrity. As an academic attending neuroradiologist at the Medical University of South Carolina, Dr. Chatterjee was involved in the development and validation of high-resolution MR cerebrovascular vessel-wall imaging studies. Through NIH funding and with collaborators in the disciplines of neurology, neurosurgery, neuroradiology, and medical physics, Dr. Chatterjee has studied neuronal white matter tract integrity in Alzheimers patient using MR diffusion kurtosis imaging, evaluated amyloid plaque imaging with PET in patient mild cognitive impairment, and the role of stem-cells in the progression of metastatic disease in patients with glioblastoma. More recently, Dr. Chatterjee has focused his research on utilizing advances in brain and cerebrovascular imaging technology with minimally-invasive treatments for patients suffering from neurovascular disease. Dr. Chatterjee is committed to providing the best possible care with compassion, the latest in medical technological advancements, and the support of a world-class team of healthcare providers at the Washington University Medical Center and Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
