Our busy MSK Section currently has six full- and part-time faculty members and two fellows in our ACGME-accredited program.

The MSK Section performs a full range of musculoskeletal imaging exams and procedures at the Medical Center’s main campus in Boston and at affiliated community sites. Facilities include 10 clinical MRI units (1.5T and 3T) and 12 CT scanners. Studies are fed into a common PACS, with readings conducted at BIDMC in Boston and remotely through home workstations.
