On behalf of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) Musculoskeletal Imaging & Intervention Fellowship team, we thank you for your interest in our program. Graduates of our program have gone on to successful careers in both academic and private practices around the country. We have an active imaging service with high referrals related to sports medicine, rheumatology, podiatry, and orthopedic oncology. We are a tertiary referral center in New England for bone and soft tissue tumors. Our MSK fellows are fully integrated into our program and run the musculoskeletal imaging service with close staff supervision. Fellows are actively involved in all procedures with graded responsibility in image-guided interventional procedures, including arthrograms, therapeutic injections, ultrasound-guided bursal and tendon sheath injections, and musculoskeletal biopsies. Fellows perform and interpret MSK ultrasound studies and procedures.

Program Goals:

1. To provide an organized, comprehensive, and highly supervised educational experience in musculoskeletal radiology so that fellows, upon completion of the program, will function as independent MSK consultants and practitioners in private practice or academic settings.
2. To train fellows in the selection, performance, and interpretation of diagnostic imaging studies of the musculoskeletal system, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound (US), nuclear medicine, and plain film radiography.
3. To train the fellows in the selection, performance, and interpretation of invasive diagnostic and interventional procedures, such as arthrography, joint injections and aspirations, CT and US-guided biopsies of the MSK system, and US-guided therapeutic interventions.

To train our fellows to be effective collaborators and medical consultants with sufficient experience to advise referring clinicians on the most expeditious and efficient imaging techniques to address musculoskeletal imaging cases.

Watch Video

In this video, BIDMC Musculoskeletal Imaging & Intervention fellowship alumni share their experiences about our world-class training program.

We have created a one-year MSK fellowship-level curriculum that builds on material learned and skills acquired in the four-year radiology residency. The curriculum provides explicit goals and learning objectives for the fellows with a road map for the year’s learning, and draws from case material encountered in daily read-outs. We have created a shared directory of helpful journal articles that can be easily accessed by the fellows on all subjects within MSK radiology, to help with case work and readouts as questions arise. Our didactic lectures have been placed into the shared directory. We are vested in our fellows’ learning and success not only in our program but as our future colleagues wherever you decide to practice.

Conferences

We have developed a weekly didactic lecture and case conference program tailored for the fellowship-level trainee, encompassing topics such as MRI protocol optimization, bone and soft tissue tumors, post-operative shoulder imaging, hip imaging, nerve entrapment, MSK ultrasound, MR evaluation of bone marrow, to name a few.

Fellows are responsible for running several weekly and monthly clinical conferences, including orthopedic oncology, sports medicine, foot and ankle, QA and follow-up, and rheumatology. We have a joint monthly journal club with the radiologists at the New England Baptist Hospital directed at fellow-level learning.

Fellows enjoy teaching medical students and radiology residents who rotate on service with us. In addition, they prepare case conferences and board reviews for the radiology residents and end-of-year lecture.

Research

The MSK section is involved in many aspects of research, from MR pulse sequence development to collaboration with our MR researchers, orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists and internal medicine colleagues, as well as medical education. We have special research interests relating to MSK interventional procedures, musculoskeletal tumors, muscle imaging, bone densitometry, and sports medicine. Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is internationally recognized for its MRI research.

We mentor our MSK fellows in research projects when they begin their fellowships; academic time is provided. MSK fellows will complete at least one research project and one outcome project during their fellowship year at BIDMC.

Our Musculoskeletal Imaging and Interventions faculty are dedicated to training the next generation of radiologists through our comprehensive fellowship program.
