Dr. Daniel Raskin Reviews

A 28-year-old Bedouin woman from an underserved community presented with unexplained abdominal pain. Dr. Raskin identified a rare vascular malformation using contrast-enhanced ultrasound, avoiding radiation exposure crucial for her childbearing plans. She received minimally invasive embolization and made a full recovery within three weeks.

An 82-year-old Holocaust survivor with dementia was brought by his granddaughter after a fall. Dr. Raskin's gentle approach and low-dose CT protocol revealed an occult hip fracture missed elsewhere. The family opted for conservative management, and he was walking with assistance within two months.

A 16-year-old elite basketball player from an affluent family suffered a complex knee injury. Dr. Raskin used dynamic MRI to visualize the instability pattern during movement, guiding a revolutionary repair technique that allowed return to professional sports in six months.

A 45-year-old ultra-Orthodox man with no previous medical care presented with advanced thyroid cancer compressing his airway. Dr. Raskin's precise ultrasound-guided biopsy confirmed anaplastic carcinoma, enabling emergency radiation that bought him nine meaningful months with his family.

A 33-year-old Ethiopian refugee with limited Hebrew presented with mysterious neurological symptoms. Dr. Raskin identified neurocysticercosis on MRI, a parasitic infection uncommon in Israel. Treatment with antiparasitics led to complete resolution within eight weeks.

A 60-year-old fisherman from Jaffa presented with worsening respiratory symptoms. Dr. Raskin's low-dose CT screening detected early-stage mesothelioma from asbestos exposure. Multimodal treatment including novel immunotherapy resulted in five-year survival, unprecedented for this diagnosis.

A 7-year-old autistic boy unable to tolerate conventional scans was sedated for MRI. Dr. Raskin adapted protocols to minimize time under anesthesia while diagnosing a benign cerebellar mass. The family received counseling and opted for monitoring rather than surgery.

A 52-year-old high-tech executive presented with incidental adrenal findings. Dr. Raskin's chemical shift MRI characterized it as a lipid-rich adenoma, avoiding unnecessary surgery. The patient required only annual follow-up scans with no lifestyle limitations.

A 39-year-old pregnant woman at 32 weeks gestation presented with acute abdominal pain. Dr. Raskin performed a radiation-free MR enterography diagnosing Crohn's flare, enabling targeted treatment that carried her to full term delivery without complications.

A 71-year-old retired archaeologist with metal implants from previous surgeries needed cancer staging. Dr. Raskin developed specialized metal artifact reduction sequences on CT that provided diagnostic images without implant removal, guiding successful targeted therapy.

A 22-year-old medical student presented with persistent cough. Dr. Raskin's chest CT revealed early sarcoidosis with characteristic lymph node patterns. The student became his own case study, managing symptoms with minimal intervention while completing studies.

A 48-year-old Palestinian construction worker was transferred with crush injuries. Dr. Raskin's emergency CT angiography identified salvageable limb perfusion, guiding vascular surgeons to successful limb salvage rather than amputation despite extensive damage.

A 5-year-old from a low-income single-parent household swallowed a button battery. Dr. Raskin's rapid fluoroscopy localization enabled emergency endoscopic removal before esophageal erosion occurred, preventing what could have been a catastrophic outcome.

An 89-year-old nursing home resident with advanced dementia developed fever of unknown origin. Dr. Raskin's whole-body MRI without contrast identified occult osteomyelitis, enabling targeted antibiotic therapy that restored comfort and quality of life in her final months.
