MRI Muscle – George Koulouris
Melbourne Radiology Clinic, Australia.
George is a musculoskeletal and MRI radiologist and therefore his main interests include the diagnosis and treatment of orthopaedic and rheumatologic disorders as well as sporting and work injuries. In particular, muscle injuries, such as hamstring, calf and groin strains are areas of sub-specialisation, as well as tendon injuries, back, neck and sciatic pain. Other areas of interest include neurological, neurosurgical and urological radiology.
