Our team of musculoskeletal radiologists at the Johns Hopkins Musculoskeletal Radiology Section work very closely with other specialists, including orthopaedic surgeons, neurologists, neurosurgeons, rheumatologists and oncologists, to provide a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach to the evaluation and treatment of patients.
In addition to being recognized for excellence in routine evaluation of patients with common sports injuries, the Musculoskeletal Radiology Section is also recognized nationally and internationally for specialized diagnostic imaging studies and interventional procedures.
We perform image-guided joint aspirations, biopsies and therapeutic procedures. When deemed necessary, we utilize MRI to take advantage of advanced imaging techniques to target disease processes. Our procedures include:
Research pursuits in the Johns Hopkins Musculoskeletal Radiology Section occur through the Subspecialty Centers of Excellence. Our musculoskeletal imaging researchers develop novel imaging techniques and treatments for a variety of musculoskeletal diseases and conditions. Examples of research interests include:
Our division offers a 12-month dedicated musculoskeletal imaging fellowship, which provides superior clinical training in CT, ultrasound and MRI, and in the performance of musculoskeletal interventions. We also offer a research fellowship in musculoskeletal radiology for scientists, physicians or medical trainees to study the applications of musculoskeletal imaging.
