 Mark D. Murphey, MD
Physician-in-Chief of and cheif Musculoskeletal AIRP

Dr. Mark D. Murphey, MD, FACR has been an academic radiologist over 30 years and has directed all of his scholarly activities to his subspecialty of musculoskeletal imaging. In his early years at the University of Kansas, he published the first article on MRI of the sacroiliac joint.  In 1993, Dr. Murphey moved to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP), which provided a unique opportunity to understand the pathologic basis of a disease's radiologic appearance. In 2010-2011, Dr. Murphey was instrumental in the transition from the AFIP to the American (now ACR) Institute for Radiologic Pathology (AIRP) as a program of the American College of Radiology (ACR). Dr. Murphey is currently the Physician-in-Chief of the AIRP and the chief of Musculoskeletal Imaging. In his tenure at the AFIP and the AIRP he has particularly emphasized research on the imaging appearance of musculoskeletal tumors. Dr. Murphey has published 148 peer reviewed articles, 155 abstracts, 27 books and book chapters, 72 scientific exhibits and given 657 national and international presentations.  

Dr. Murphey's academic career has been extraordinarily fulfilling, and he hopes that his efforts have broadened our knowledge and understanding of the imaging of musculoskeletal disease.
