Medical Background

As a leader in the field, Dr. Chafetz has performed thousands of MRI and CT interpretations for physicians nationwide. He is an internationally known specialist in spinal, musculoskeletal and neurological MRI and CT. Because he has written comprehensive texts on those subjects, has years of clinical expertise and numerous academic credentials, Dr. Chafetz is highly sought after as a medical legal expert. For orthopedic, musculoskeletal, neurological and dental imaging, his expertise, combined with leading-edge technology, enables him to provide referring physicians and their patients with the most accurate interpretations available.

Because diagnostic imaging plays an increasingly important role in optimal treatment plans, image resolution and expert interpretations are critical.

An acknowledged expert in musculoskeletal and spinal radiology, Dr. Chafetz draws from extensive clinical practice and academic research to provide the highest standards of imaging interpretation.

A former Professor of Radiology at the University of California at San Francisco, Dr. Chafetz is the co-editor and co-author of Computed Tomography of the Lumbar Spine. He is the senior author of the MRI and CT of the spine section in one of the standard radiology MRI and CT references, Computed Tomography of the Body with Magnetic Resonance Imaging. He has also published numerous articles on MRI and CT, and he continues to write and lecture internationally on the topic.

His continuing research and practice in new MRI scanning techniques has made him one of the most sought after diagnosticians for accurate interpretation of complex cases
