MSK Radiology Fellowship

Program Information

The Musculoskeletal Radiology Section at the University of Wisconsin provides image interpretation and imaging-guided intervention of the extremities and spine. The Section is composed of internationally known experts with expertise in all modalities used to image and to treat and diagnose pain in the musculoskeletal system. The Section also provides expert consultation for spine, joint and extremity imaging including complex sports medicine imaging.

Our four fellows are fully integrated into the Section and work closely with the faculty in interpreting radiographs, CT, MR and ultrasound scans of the extremities and spine, as well as performing biopsies, vertebroplasties, image-guided ablations, and diagnostic and therapeutic joint and spine injections.  Last year, we performed 500 extremity ultrasound examinations, 1950 injection and interventional procedures, 1500 CT and 7700 MR examinations of the extremities and the spine including 500 MR arthrograms.

Overview

The musculoskeletal training program is supported by the Department of Radiology and the University of Wisconsin Medical School. When they begin the fellowship, fellows must be graduates of an ACGME accredited program in Diagnostic Radiology, and must have a Wisconsin medical license. Fellows are appointed to the faculty as clinical instructors. Fellows receive faculty benefits including 22 days vacation and a book and travel fund. Academic time is given to support research.
