Department of Radiology and Imaging

A Message from the Radiologist-in-Chief
Helene Pavlov, MD, FACR

"Hello and welcome. As a specialized hospital, the Radiology and Imaging Department focuses clinical acumen, training, research, and development on discovering new techniques that optimize early detection of musculoskeletal conditions and diseases, their progression and the response to treatment. The images we acquire and their interpretation represent years of experience. The imaging procedures performed routinely at HSS are rarely performed at other institutions. We are frequently requested by our referring physicians to repeat an examination and/or provide a secondary interpretation for a suboptimal imaging examination that was performed elsewhere."
