What is musculoskeletal radiology?

Musculoskeletal radiology is a subspecialty of radiology focused on diagnosing and treating disorders of the bones, joints, and soft tissues using imaging techniques such as X-rays, MRI, CT scans, and ultrasound. Musculoskeletal radiologists are specially trained to interpret these images and assist in the management of conditions like fractures, arthritis, sports injuries, tumors, and infections. They often work closely with orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, and other healthcare providers to provide comprehensive care for patients with musculoskeletal issues.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a musculoskeletal radiologist?

To thrive as a Musculoskeletal Radiologist, you need a medical degree, board certification in radiology, and specialized fellowship training in musculoskeletal imaging. Expertise in MRI, CT, ultrasound, and PACS systems, along with familiarity with radiology reporting software, is essential. Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial for accurately interpreting images and collaborating with referring physicians. These skills ensure precise diagnoses and optimal patient care in a highly specialized and rapidly evolving field.

What are some common challenges faced by musculoskeletal radiologists in their daily practice?

Musculoskeletal radiologists often encounter the challenge of interpreting complex imaging studies, such as MRI and CT scans, where subtle findings can have significant clinical implications. Staying updated with evolving imaging techniques and maintaining proficiency in image-guided procedures are also essential. Additionally, effective communication with referring physicians and multidisciplinary teams is crucial to ensure accurate diagnosis and optimal patient care, which can be demanding in a high-volume clinical environment.

Job description

Radiologists for Full-Time or Part-Time Positions

Emory University School of Medicine's Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences is committed to fostering a culture that is healthy and sustainable, and a supportive environment for our people to thrive throughout their careers. The department has a strong commitment to faculty development and academic advancement.

The Division of Musculoskeletal Imaging is seeking Radiologists for full-time or part-time positions to join the expanding division of Musculoskeletal Imaging.

Emory's Musculoskeletal Division consists of 10 full and part-time faculty members who provide specialized MSK diagnostic and interventional services to several hospital and clinic sites including the Emory MSK Institute, Emory University Midtown Hospital and Grady Memorial Hospital. Faculty are actively involved in strong intra- and interdepartmental research collaborations and are committed to educating our MSK fellows and residents (one of the largest programs in the country).

Diagnostic responsibilities include subspecialty interpretations of MSK MRI, CT, ultrasound and radiographs. Spine imaging interpretation is shared between neuroradiology and musculoskeletal radiology. We interpret imaging for many of the Atlanta-area professional and collegiate sports teams and commonly collaborate with our orthopedic surgeons including orthopedic oncology, non-operative sports medicine physicians, neurologists, neurosurgeons, and rheumatologists. We participate in interdisciplinary conferences including sarcoma tumor board, peripheral nerve, rheumatology, and arthroscopic-imaging correlation conferences.

Experience in standard interventional MSK procedures is preferred, which include fluoroscopic/ultrasound guided joint injection/aspiration, CT and ultrasound guided biopsies, spine and peripheral nerve injections.

Additionally, fully remote options are available. These can be remote from anywhere in the USA except New Jersey, Hawaii, or Alaska.

Visa sponsorship is available for qualified applicants.

Compensation rates reflect newly updated and enhanced compensation rates effective 9/1/2026.

Minimum qualifications include:

  • Applicants must have completed a musculoskeletal fellowship at an accredited program.
  • Applicants must be ABR board-certified/eligible and be eligible to obtain an unrestricted Georgia medical license.
  • Faculty rank will be commensurate with experience and accomplishments.

This role will be granted the opportunity to work from home regularly but must be able to commute to Emory University on a flexible weekly schedule based upon business needs. Schedule is based on agreed upon guidelines of department. This role requires residency in the state of GA. Emory reserves the right to change remote work status with notice to employee.
