Dr. Wintermark's research program is focused on imaging of cerebrovascular disorders, such as stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, aneurysms, vasospasm and atherosclerosis. Dr. Wintermark is applying advanced neuroimaging techniques, such as perfusion imaging, susceptibility-weighted imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, spectroscopy and functional MRI, in an effort to improve the understanding of the conditions listed above. His goal is to develop these imaging techniques in biomarkers for cerebrovascular disorders, which can be used to select patients for a specific treatment, or to monitor the efficacy of this treatment. Ultimately, Dr. Wintermark aims at individualizing the care for patients with a cerebrovascular condition, and improving their outcome.

Other areas of research interest include:

1. Standardization of Stroke Perfusion-CT for Reperfusion Therapy
2. CAPRISK Study - Carotid Plaque imaging to Predict Ischemic Stroke
3. VIPs study - Vascular Effects of Infection in Pediatric Stroke
4. MR- Guided focused Ultrasound
