Who performs and interprets my radiograph?

Your examination will be performed by a qualified Radiologic Technologist (RT). Your examination will be interpreted by a Radiologist. A radiologist is a doctor specializing in radiology including the other imaging modalities of MRI, ultrasound, nuclear medicine and CT. Radiologists specialize in the imaging and diagnosis of disease. Interpretation of a radiograph, MRI, CT, ultrasound, or nuclear medicine examination requires expertise in pattern recognition and in the identification of potential artifacts that may otherwise be mistaken for pathology. Radiologists are trained in the variable sensitivity and specificity of each imaging technique, and in the potential for hazards related to the examination that could cause harm and must be avoided. Our Radiologist is Board Certified by the American Board of Radiology, has years of experience in the imaging of musculoskeletal disorders, and has additional formal fellowship training beyond residency in musculoskeletal or body imaging.
