Musculoskeletal Imaging

Musculoskeletal imaging research includes both diagnostic and procedural radiology and involves a variety of modalities, including ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radiography. Advanced imaging techniques entail MR neurography, metal artifact reduction sequences on MR and CT, dual-energy CT, ultrasound elastography and dynamic imaging. There is overlap with multiple clinical specialties, including orthopedics, sports medicine, rheumatology, oncology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, pediatrics, neurology, general surgery, plastic surgery and cardiology.

Bio

My research focus is in pediatric nerve imaging, specifically nerve injury evaluation with ultrasound and MRI neurography. I am interested in the preoperative and intraoperative assessment of nerves.  Rapid MRI imaging for MSK infection is another area of interest as it avoids sedation and contrast in pediatric MRI.  Finally, I am studying non-invasive MRI techniques to help diagnose and monitor treatment for leukemia and other bone marrow replacing conditions with MRI-Fat Fraction, to achieve a "virtual bone marrow biopsy."
