Radiologist - Podiatric Specialist
Jerrold H. Mink, M.D., F.A.C.R., is a nationally recognized expert in musculoskeletal imaging and an innovator in applications of magnetic resonance to musculoskeletal disorders. The first of the five textbooks he has authored, “MRI of the Knee,” published in 1987, remains the benchmark work in the field in which virtually all fundamental principles and criteria for MR diagnoses of knee disorders were established.
Dr. Mink completed his undergraduate training at the University of Illinois where he was a Phi Beta Kappa. He graduated from the University of Illinois College of Medicine where he received his M.D. degree with honors; additionally, he was elected to AOA Honor Society. He interned at Harbor General Hospital in Torrance, California, and took his radiology residency at UCLA Center for the Health Sciences, Los Angeles, California. Dr. Mink was the Director of the Section on Bone Radiology at UCLA from 1975 to 1978. He subsequently assumed the positions of Director of Musculoskeletal Imaging and Director of Magnetic Resonance Imaging at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Los Angeles. His skills as a teacher of medicine were manifest by his full-time appointment to the Department of Radiology at UCLA for four years, by his receiving the teacher of the year award both at UCLA and at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and by his current appointment as an Associate Clinical Professor of Radiology at the University of California, San Francisco. He was elected to fellowship in the American College of Radiology in 1995.
Dr. Mink's academic accomplishments, most of which have been achieved while he has been in private practice, are well known to the radiologic, orthopedic and rheumatologic communities. Dr. Mink is the author of five major textbooks on musculoskeletal imaging; he has authored 21 textbook chapters and nearly 70 original articles in peer-reviewed journals. He currently is a reviewer for manuscripts submitted to Radiology, Clinical Orthopedics, and Arthroscopy. Dr. Mink has been invited to speak at major orthopedic meetings including the North America Arthroscopy Association, the American Academy of Sports Medicine, and the Western Orthopedic Association. Dr. Mink is a member of the American College of Radiology, the California Medical Association, California Radiological Society, the North American Spine Society, and the International Spinal Injection Society.

Scott WerdenM.D.
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Specialist
Dr. Scott Werden completed both his undergraduate and graduate work at University of New York at Stony Brook. Dr. Werden graduated from medical school at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where he was selected to join Alpha Omega Alpha, the national medical honor society. After finishing his medical internship at Duke University Medical Center and internal medicine residency at Boston City Hospital, he attended the nationally renowned diagnostic radiology program at Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology in St. Louis. Dr. Werden then performed a fellowship in cross-sectional imaging at the esteemed Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. Dr. Werden is double Board-Certified in Internal Medicine and Diagnostic Radiology.
A specialist in imaging of patients with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS), Dr. Werden has spent several years developing and refining a new MRI technique for the evaluation of these patients. He has personally supervised and interpreted over 400 of these MRI studies to date.
Dr. Werden has developed a research program on patients with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome that remains ongoing. This database on MRI findings in patients with TOS is one of the largest in the world. As this research continues to support Dr. Werden's initial hypotheses regarding MRI findings in patients with TOS, he consults on a regular basis with local physicians who diagnose and treat patients with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, observes surgery on these patients, and serves as a retained expert on TOS in numerous medicolegal cases. Dr. Werden has been invited to speak on Thoracic Outlet Syndrome at national meetings and at Grand Rounds presentations of local hospitals and prestigious universities. He is in the process of publishing several papers on Thoracic Outlet Syndrome in national peer-reviewed journals.
