Summary

  • Anousheh Sayah, MD is Director of Spine Imaging and Associate Professor of Neuroradiology at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C. She serves as an attending physician in both neuroradiology and neurointerventional radiology. She is board certified in diagnostic radiology and neuroradiology. Dr. Sayah is also a native of the Washington, DC area.
    After attending the University of Virginia School of Medicine, Dr. Sayah completed a radiology residency at MedStar Georgetown. This was followed by two neuroradiology fellowships at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and MedStar Georgetown. Her latter year of training was focused on the performance of image-guided spine procedures and neurointervention.

    Dr. Sayah has an active practice involving spine imaging using CT and MRI technology, as well as myelography. She is co-founder and integral part of the CSF Leaks Disorder Program at Medstar Georgetown. She actively performs image-guided spine interventions such as spinal epidural steroid injections (i.e. nerve blocks); spinal vertebro/kyphoplasty; spinal biopsies; spinal patching; and complex myelography. In addition, Dr. Sayah engages in clinical research involving spine imaging and spinal procedures.

    Philosophy of Care
    My focus is imaging of the brain, head and neck, and notably, the spine. The latter is my main interest. I perform most epidural steroid injections with CT guidance which shows the anatomy around the spine in greater detail than x-ray fluoroscopy. We are currently engaged in our CSF Leaks Disorder Program, which is a collaboration with Neurosurgery and Neurology.
    I believe in listening to the patient and understanding the problem as a whole before deciding to treat, or potentially not to treat.
