Following his internship at The University of Michigan, Dr. Weiss moved to Palo Alto, California where he completed a Diagnostic Radiology Residency at Stanford University Medical Center. Dr. Weiss is fellowship trained in both MRI and Neuroradiology at the Ohio State University Hospitals and The Medical College of Georgia respectively. Dr. Weiss is a diplomat of the American Board of Radiology (ABR) and maintains ABR certification of added qualifications (CAQ) in Neuroradiology. His clinical specialty is limited to neuroradiology. Dr. Weiss has authored over 40 peer-reviewed original research papers. He holds multiple copyrights, US Patent disclosures and US Patent applications including two assigned to The University of Cincinnati. Dr. Weiss is the liaison to the University of Cincinnati Medical School Summer Research Program and the Department of Radiology. Research Interests: Dr. Weiss’s research interests include, virtual autopsy, rapid MRI osteoporosis and cancer screening, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and diffusion tensor-fMRI, as well as increasing standards of practice through computer automated CT and MRI prescriptions and digital imaging processing with an emphasis on patent development. Dr. Weiss is an International UC faculty member for the Institutional Collaboration Agreement between Beijing Jiaotong University and University of Cincinnati. As a principal investigator for GE, Dr. Weiss’s research includes state-of-the-art, pre-release, MRI beta software for the neuroaxis in both the pediatric and adult populations. The Physicians Health Care Initiative is directed by Dr. Weiss to provide free MRI's to children with neurological disabilities.
