John C. Hunter, M.D.

Clinical/Research Interests

Dr. Hunter's clinical interests lie in the advanced imaging of musculoskeletal disease using techniques that include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound to make the diagnosis. Interventional procedures for diagnosis and pain management using conventional and advanced techniques are another area of interest. Dr. Hunter has been actively involved in the implementation and use of digital data management. His recent research studies involve Internet-based teaching and continuing medical education. Magnetic resonance imaging of sports injuries is also an area of ongoing research.
