Tina Basak

Tina Basak, MD, serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology & Imaging Sciences with board certification from the American Board of Radiology in Diagnostic Radiology. Her clinical and academic work focuses on advanced imaging applications in orthopedic surgery, particularly musculoskeletal disorders requiring precise diagnostic interpretation.

Her educational background includes:

• M.D. from Keck School of Medicine of University of Southern California
• Residency in Diagnostic Radiology at Loma Linda University Medical Center
• Fellowship in Musculoskeletal Radiology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
• Internship in Transitional Year at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center
• B.A. in Biology & Social Science - Economics from University of Southern California

Dr. Basak specializes in Musculoskeletal Radiology with deep expertise in foot and ankle imaging, where she integrates emerging technologies like 3D printing to enhance surgical planning and outcome analysis. Her research bridges radiological diagnostics with orthopedic biomechanics, emphasizing practical applications for complex anatomical corrections. This interdisciplinary approach demonstrates her commitment to translating imaging innovations into tangible clinical improvements for musculoskeletal pathologies.

Her publication record reveals a focused trajectory in orthopedic radiology with emphasis on quantitative surgical assessment. The 2018 study on calcaneal osteotomies exemplifies her methodology of using 3D-printed models to objectively compare surgical techniques, highlighting a consistent interest in evidence-based validation of orthopedic procedures. This work reflects broader trends toward personalized surgical planning and technology-driven efficacy measurement in musculoskeletal interventions.

Information regarding Dr. Basak's mentorship of students, research grant acquisitions, and laboratory affiliations is not documented in the available materials, though her academic position suggests involvement in clinical education and departmental research initiatives within radiology.
