Dr. Lee graduated from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, after which he matriculated at Tufts University School of Medicine’s Dual-Degree Program graduating in 2002 with both a MD and a MBA in Health Administration. During his residency at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan he received the Howard P. Doub, MD Distinguished First Year Resident Award, the RSNA Introduction to Research Scholarship, the RSNA Roentgen Resident/Fellow Research Award, the William R. Eyler, MD Distinguished Senior Resident Award, was nominated for the Henry Ford Hospital-wide Outstanding Resident Award, and was Chief Resident from 2006-2007.
Dr. Lee joined the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics as a Musculoskeletal Radiology Fellow in 2007 and joined the faculty in 2008 as Director of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound. In this capacity he directed the start up of the new Ultrasound Clinic at Research Park which has seen a 300% growth in service, providing quality-driven, patient-centered care in a unique environment. Dr. Lee has also collaborated with the Sports Medicine Clinic to provide a new service of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments to help patients with sports-related injuries.
Dr. Lee’s research interests include basic science and clinical research. He has formed a musculoskeletal ultrasound multidisciplinary research team to study the effects of tendon elasticity and how it may predict injury or monitor healing. He also serves as co-PI on a prospective randomized control trial investigating the treatment outcomes of ultrasound-guided prolotherapy and sodium morrhuate injections in patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow). Dr. Lee has made both national and international presentations of his research, and has given six RSNA Hands-On Refresher Course Workshops. He was recently elected Secretary of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Group for the 2009-2011 term.
