After completing his radiology residency at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Dr. David ran the clinical MRI service at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, working under the direction of Robert Edelman, M.D., a world leader in magnetic resonance imaging. This intense, focused experience exposed him to every facet of MRI, particularly musculoskeletal MRI and body MRI. During that time, Dr. David published articles on several cutting-edge applications of MRI, including magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), oxygen-enhanced MR ventilation-perfusion imaging of the lung and gadolinium-enhanced peripheral MR venography.

Following his radiology and MRI training, Dr. David served as director of musculoskeletal and body MRI at the Western Pennsylvania Hospital in Pittsburgh, where he conducted regular teaching conferences with the hospital's surgical and medical staffs. During his tenure there, he developed an intense interest in orthopedic imaging—an interest nurtured through his close relationships with the hospital's orthopedic and podiatric specialists.

To date, he continues to work closely with clinical colleagues, visiting operating rooms on a regular basis to correlate imaging findings with intraoperative observations. He is active at national and local medical meetings, giving lectures and participating in various task forces.

Dr. David brings extensive experience in magnetic resonance arthrography, sports medicine MRI, and open MRI to Progressive Radiology. He also works tirelessly with technologists and vendors to improve image quality on a daily basis.
