The musculoskeletal radiology team consists of fellowship-trained radiologists specializing in all facets of bone and joint imaging, including trauma, sports injuries, degenerative disease, infection, rheumatology, orthopedic oncology, and peripheral neuropathy. They have experience diagnosing and treating everyone from weekend warriors to professional and Olympic athletes.
Our radiologists interpret the full spectrum of bone and joint imaging studies, from routine to complex.
Radiography
Common reasons for x-ray imaging include:
- Fracture
- Arthritis
Ultrasound
Common reasons for ultrasound imaging include:
- Joint effusion
- Bursitis
- Baker’s cyst
- Quadriceps tendon injury
- Patellar tendon injury
- Achilles tendon injury
- Plantar fasciitis
- Morton’s neuroma
CT
Common reasons for CT imaging include:
- Fracture
- Arthritis
- Arthroplasty assessment
- Infection
MRI
Common reasons for MRI imaging include:
- Shoulder – rotator cuff tear and labral tear
- Elbow – tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, biceps tendon injury
- Wrist – ligament injury, deQuervain tenosynovitis, ganglion cyst
- Sacrum – sacroiliitis
- Hip – tendon injury, labral tear
- Knee – meniscus tear, ligament tear, patellar maltracking
- Ankle – Achilles tendon injury, plantar fasciitis, ankle sprain
- Foot – stress fracture
Complex analysis is also performed for problems such as:
- Shoulder – glenohumeral instability with an assessment of Hill-Sachs interval and glenoid track
- Elbow – multiligamentous injury resulting from dislocation
- Wrist – scapholunate advanced collapse, Kienbock’s disease
- Finger – flexor tendon and pulley injuries, extensor mechanism injury
- Thumb – collateral ligament sprain, Stener lesion
- Pelvis – athletic pubalgia
- Hip – femoral head avascular necrosis, particle disease in hip arthroplasty
- Knee – integrity of ACL graft reconstruction
- Ankle – osteochondral injury, posterior tibialis tendon dysfunction
- Foot – Lisfranc fracture dislocation
MRI Neurography
These specialized studies help evaluate for:
- Brachial plexopathy
- Cubital tunnel syndrome
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Lumbosacral plexopathy
- Sciatica
- Femoral neuropathy
- Obturator neuropathy
- Myalgia paresthetica
- Common peroneal neuropathy
- Tarsal tunnel syndrome
Our radiologists have an exceptional understanding of anatomy and use imagine guidance for each procedure. This ensures that medication is delivered as safely as possible to the area where it is needed the most and provides the best chance for pain and symptom relief.
Common procedures performed include:
- Arthrogram
- Joint injection of steroid for pain relief from arthritis
- Bursal injection of steroid for pain relief from bursitis
- Lavage for pain relief from rotator cuff calcific tendinitis
- Knee injection of viscosupplements for osteoarthritis
- Tendon fenestration for tendinitis
