Musculoskeletal Imaging

Musculoskeletal (MSK) radiologists specialize in providing diagnostic and therapeutic imaging services for bones, joints, and associated soft tissues.

Most common musculoskeletal radiology exams include:

  • Upper and lower extremities – including the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, hips, knees, ankles, and feet
  • Non-extremity joints – including the pelvis, sternoclavicular, sacroiliac, and symphysis pubis
  • Arthrograms of the ankle, knee, hip, wrist, elbow and shoulder
  • Bones and joints

Specialists in musculoskeletal radiology work closely with physicians in other specialties to advise on cases involving sports imaging, evaluation of disease processes in bones and connective tissues, and trauma.
