Woody Han, MD, is an interventional neuroradiologist who uses minimally invasive, catheter-based techniques to treat conditions affecting the blood vessels of the brain, spine, head and neck.

Born in China and raised in Minnesota and Indiana, Dr. Han earned a bachelor’s degree in economics from Duke University, where he also spent a year in glioblastoma research. He received his medical degree from Indiana University School of Medicine, where he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. He completed his Diagnostic Radiology residency at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria, followed by fellowships in Neuroradiology at McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University and in Neuro-endovascular Surgery at the University of California, San Francisco. Before joining Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine, he practiced with Central Illinois Radiological Associates and served as an Assistant Professor of Radiology at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria.

Dr. Han’s clinical interests include intracranial and spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas; cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) disorders such as idiopathic intracranial hypertension and CSF-venous fistulas; acute ischemic stroke; brain aneurysms; brain and spinal arteriovenous malformations; chronic subdural hematoma; and pediatric neurointervention, including pediatric stroke. His research focuses on neurointerventional oncology, building on his experience with intra-arterial chemotherapy for head and neck cancer and pediatric retinoblastoma, and extends to intra-arterial radioembolization and theranostics. He also studies CSF-related neurovascular disorders and arteriovenous shunts of the skull base and cervical spine, and he has presented his work at Society of Neurointerventional Surgery (SNIS) meetings. Dr. Han is board certified in Diagnostic Radiology by the American Board of Radiology and holds a Certificate of Added Qualification in Neuroradiology.
