Based in Boston, MA, Dr. Peter Franklin has established himself as one of the country's leaders in teleradiology, having provided the service since its infancy in 1994. Prior to developing a teleradiology service, Dr. Franklin served as Chief of Body and Musculoskeletal CT and MRI at Boston University Medical Center and Director of Musculoskeletal and Body Imaging at Somerset Diagnostic Centers. At Boston University Medical Center he created the first CME course that combined orthopedic and radiology faculty for the purpose of teaching both specialties to interpret musculoskeletal MRI examinations. He has promoted this unique philosophy of a combined approach and a close working relationship between orthopedic surgeons and radiologists to elevate the level of diagnostic excellence and improve patient care. This model is now the standard in sports medicine MRI courses. Dr. Franklin provides interpretations to the physicians that care for the NFL's San Diego Chargers and Chicago Bears, as well as many other elite athletes and hundreds of orthopedic surgeons.
