Division of Musculoskeletal Imaging & Intervention
The Division of Musculoskeletal Imaging & Intervention is a leading provider of diagnostic services and image-guided therapies to patients with joint and spine disorders.
The division's team of physicians, receptionists, technologists and nurses achieves the highest quality of care in a personalized environment. One of our top priorities is ease of access. We pride ourselves on responsiveness to patient inquiries and physician contacts.
Clinical Services
- We perform MR arthrography of joints, such as the shoulder, hip, elbow, ankle, wrist and knee.
- For diagnostic information and pain treatment, we use image guidance to inject anesthetic and steroid in and around the joints and spine (cervical, thoracic and lumbar).
- To promote tissue healing, we treat injured tissue with PRP (platelet-rich plasma).
- We are an international referral center for image-guided, minimally invasive treatment of osteoid osteoma.
- In patients with possible tumors, we perform needle biopsies of bone as well as soft tissues.
Division Radiologists
The musculoskeletal radiologists are international authorities recognized for their experience and expertise in research and clinical practice. We use state-of-the-art MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), CT (computed tomography), digital fluoroscopy, ultrasound and PET (positron emission tomography) technology. We work closely with orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, neurosurgeons, rheumatologists and oncologists to coordinate a multidisciplinary approach to patient evaluation and treatment.
Our special interests include sports-related injuries, pain-management procedures, arthritis, metabolic disorders and musculoskeletal tumors.
